when i had mine pulled, they told me not to spit the blood out at all as it could rupture the gums and start making them bleed again.
The first 3-4hrs after waking up, there is no pain but i also couldnt take my pills because my throat was numb and couldnt voluntarily swallow on my own yet.
Once the numbness went away, i was in hell... I took the pills but they didnt react enough.
I eventually had to take 8 advils. Not at the same time, but i took 2 sets of 4 in a 4-5hr period.
Something happened and i started to sweat real fast and it got me tired real fast. I was handed an ice cold towel that cooled me down in about 2 minutes then i pretty much passed out. I woke back up bout 3 hrs later completely fine...
I started eating. Now, i went back to work 3 days later but the hydrocodone wasnt strong enough for me to stay at work so someone gave me a vicodon and they was EXACTLY what i needed. It took the lightheadedness away and the pain.
