I got my wisdom teeth out a day ago, and when i swallow it feels like there is a certain pressure where the stitches are. does this mean i have a dry socket?

No it does not. You have wounds that are healing. Follow your surgeon's directions.

No it does not. However if you have concerns, contact your Surgeon. He/She is responsible for your post-surgical care. I'm sure you were provided with written instructions. Follow them to the letter.
