Go Back to Surgeon: 6 wisdom teeth, very unusual. You may have an Amoxicillin resistant infection and may need a different antibiotic. Either go back to your surgeon or see another surgeon to diagnose and treat the problem. this can't be fixed without physically seeing you. Good Luck

Unusual. : Most people only have 4. Contact your Specialist Oral Surgeon or treating Dentist. May need additional or different antibiotic. Infection may be dry socket, where clog washed out, that needs to be packed with medicated dressing. So go back and see your Surgeon.

Call your surgeon: It's possible you need a different antibiotic. You need to also have your surgical sites evaluated.
