Symptoms: Symptoms could be from swallowing blood or from reaction to anesthetic. By day 5 pain should be easing off. Have dentist check, you may have dry socket.

Soon: Pain should be improving soon, but everyone pains response is different. Hopefully, the dental surgeon put you on some medication to help with the pain as wisdom teeth surgery can certainly be discomforting. Follow-up with surgeon for eval if pain persists. Best wishes.

Soon: Most third molar extraction cases are healed to a comfortable level in 7-10 days. the pain should subside within the first 5-7 days. If the pain is increasing or does not recede then you should return to the surgeon for evaluation and further treatment. Vomiting is a common side effect of GA and of the narcotics given post-op for pain control.
