wisdom tooth pain normal, no antibiotics?

[ashleep]

I got a wisdom tooth removed this afternoon a top one, omg it hurts soooo much and i only got paracetamol. but anyways he gave me stitches but no antibiotics, i am sacred because maybe stitches might causes an infection?? does anyone know if it does? or can stitches be fine without antibiotics

sounds normal to me, antibiotics will only be given if you have any signs of infection rather than to prevent infection. I am guessing they told you to rinse your mouth out and keep it clean etc

Too many antibiotics may lead to antibiotic resistance so doctors won't prescribe them if not needed.
