can i cough after wisdom teeth removal
Hey Hyunjin, sorry, this might seem a bit off topic, but I just had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. Can I cough? I feel like it can affect the wound.
Hello! First, I hope you're doing well after your procedure. It's a great question. While it's not harmful to cough occasionally, excessive or forceful coughing could potentially disrupt the healing process of the extraction site.
I think I've been coughing quite a bit. What should I do?
If you're coughing a lot, it might be worth consulting your dentist or a healthcare professional. They might provide you with some medicines to subdue your cough. Also, try taking light meals, drinking plenty of water, and refraining from smoking if you do.
That sounds helpful. I'm having a bit of discomfort too. Is that normal?
Yes, discomfort and slight swelling is normal after wisdom teeth removal. It should gradually decrease with time. But if it increases or you face other complications, do reach out to your dentist immediately.
