Im about 5 days out from an extraction (molar #18) with a bone graft.

Anyone else have ear pain after extraction with/without bone graft? I dont have a fever…but my tooth was VERY infected and I had a lot of bone loss. So much to where the oral surgeon said I had to come back in 6 months fornthe xray rather than 3-4 months.

The pain kinda radiates to the back of my head too but I think that could also be jsut be from me clenching my jaw. ?

Ive been having seriously major anxiety issues over this and thinking its something more serious. Ive talked to a doctor via telemedicine and she think its just a sinus infection (bc i had sinus pain days before). I talked to a nurse and she didnt seem to concerned either. Im on an antibiotic and take ibuprofen as well.

I just need more reassurance :(
