A member asked:
When should i start taking my antibiotics and pain medication after wisdom teeth extraction?

Soon: If you have been given a prescription for antibiotics and pan meds you should start taking them as soon as you can after the surgery. I would suggest having a little something to eat prior to taking it so as to minimize the chance of stomach upset.
