Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again

The tissue tag should resolve in 7-14 days max. rinse with warm water (mix in salt) 3-5 times a day to help keep the wound clean. smoking is a personal choice. IF you truly have NOT smoked post extraction you may start now. ...

Hi, I am really stressed and don't want to self diagnos and go crazy, but I have had this (pimple, ulcer, follicule infection or chancre on the side of the shaft of my penis. I don't know which one it is. I don't have medical but I am signing up on Tuesday for state medical..... The story is it appear maybe a week after a day and a half masterbation marathon I am embarrassed to say I had. It started as just a burning sensation on the side like I ripped the skin which I have done before. So I just didnt touch it. That was on a Sunday then Monday Xmas I tried to have sex with my lady and I couldn't cause of the pain and burning sensation on the skin. We started and stopped. 3 days after that in the same burning area 1 pimple formed with maybe 2 smaller ones. Very small ones... I I tried to masterbate again and it seemed as if it irritated the area and another one grew. They got to an ok size and where kind of painful. Then they grew and seemed to bust and started to go down. They look some like a chancre or a lesion when it was going down. They itch a little bit I guess that's from healing but I am freaked out. I had unprotected sex with another woman maybe a month before the night I began the marathon. I have pics please help.

Hard swollen submandibular lymph nodes on both sides of my jaw. There is a couple of small ones too & also a couple smaller ones on one side of my neck. Also small sores in my mouth which might be healing . What can this be its been about 3 weeks ? Oh & I'm 18 by the way I have smoked previously in my life.

Swollen submandibular glands may be due to an oral infection, possibly odontogenic in origin. You are advised to take an OPG(Orthopantograph) for diagnosing the source of infection. This may also be due to FAscial Space Infection. ...

I got my wisdom teeth out about 12 days ago, and it is almost healed. I feel like there might be a cavity in the tooth in front of the wisdom tooth extracted, but there might not be either. I haven't been able to brush my teeth back there, and whenever I put my tongue back there to take out food that is stuck, I taste something metallic, it almost taste identical to the taste of raw cabbage. I don't want to go to the dentist just yet because I am still healing, and I cant open my mouth so big, and I don't want to make anything worse. If you could help me out, that would be great.

dont worry ,these is normal postextraction complicaation.u just do mouth gargling ,for mouth opening go for mouthopening exercise,take chewing gum do all movement in mouth. ...

I have eaten a lot of popcorn (two microwave bags) - I am slender and dance, walk, etc. I have woken up out of a sleep with chest discomfort after eating this. It was a lot. No difficulty breathing, no sweating...etc. I also hurt my back in a fall - across middle of back and it is slowly healing...that also hurt before I went to sleep that night. Deducing back and food but do not know. BP is normal, Cholesterol good, weight good...

Dear patrice, it is unlikely to be a cardiac pain. You didn't mention the site of pain. However, It may be a mechanical chest pain which will resolve with NSAID and muscle relaxant. Another probability is just a stomach pain. Take an anti ulcerant. Thanks. ...

I had fracture of the fifth metatarsal in my right foot three months ago. My ortho surgeon advised me to wear an Aircast short boot. I wore it for more than two months. After my 3rd xray showed more callus formation, he allowed me to remove it already and just wear shoes with flat hard sole. The x ray result stated that there is more callus formation. Demineralization of bones is appreciated. What does it mean that demineration is APPRECIATED? Is this positive? Thank you.

Demineralization is local osteoporosis due to disuse as you have been protected from full weight bearing as you had a fracture. this is normal and would soon be recovered as you bear normal weight by remodeling. this is the normal process of healing of bone and you should not worry. ...
