I (41, male) had a fully erupted (but infected) lower wisdom tooth extracted five days ago. I was told there was sign of infection on the roots, too. The procedure itself was incredibly quick and I have had almost no swelling or pain ever since, to my surprise as I was terrified before. I was not prescribed antibiotics and had no stitches. It looks like it is healing ok. Gross but ok (I think). I have been swilling with warm salt water 4 times a day and careful what I eat. I do not smoke. I have no follow up appointment booked.
But I have had a constant strong horrible metallic taste and feel mildly run down, just tired with no energy despite sleeping well. Could I have an infection? The recovery is taking longer than I would have thought or what seems to be expected.
