I had my wisdom teeth removed two days ago via surgery.
On the morning of the first day, I woke up with this really painful throat. It only got better towards the end of the day, but the next morning the same thing happened again and didn't improve one bit from the day before.
I think during the surgery, something was stuck down my throat to help me breathe.
It feels like tonsilitis (but I'm quite sure it's not) and I've lost my voice too.
Is this normal? -
Heeelps... I dun wanna wake up with the same thing tomorrow again.

Thorat inflammation. Did your doc give you anti-inflame and antibiotic?

How come will have inflamed throat one?
I only have antibiotics, painkillers and something to counter the painkillers' side effects. -
Sore thorat is usually caused by inflame. Yea, remember to take the full course of your antibiotic.

You didn't say if you have a local or general anaesthesia. Usually, if you remove 1 or 2 molars on one side, local anaesthesia by way of a nerve block is sufficient. For more extensive procedures, general anaesthesia may be used and in that case, you may have had a tube down your windpipe, which may give you a sore throat.
I guess you probably had LA. If you have a pharyngitis/tonsillitis, it may be totally coincidental. On the other hand, if you had some infection related to an impacted wisdom tooth, for example, during surgery the infection might well have tracked down to the throat and give you symptoms now.
Most important is to check that you do not have a pre-existent heart problem (previous rheumatic heart disease, congenital or acquired valve disorders, hole in the heart...that sort of thing). If you do, you should have had antibiotic prophylaxis. If not, a pharyngitis/tonsilitis will get better with symptomatic and if necessary, antibiotic treatment. I guess you might be already on antibiotics on account of the wisdom tooth extraction, especially if it was inflamed.
See your GP if your symptoms persist and he will be able to tell you what's wrong. -

And I'm still bleeding 3 days after the extraction.
Have another appointment this week so I'm not planning to go to a doctor for the bleeding since it's not excessive.
Thanks OM.
