I got all four wisdom teeth removed two weeks ago today. A couple days ago, when swallowing, I started feeling pretty mild pain/discomfort when swallowing in the bottom right area, it is a little worse today, but nothing too horrible. I also feel something a little weird in the top left area but it’s not pain. This is all just pretty much just when I swallow. I don’t seem to have a bad taste in my mouth but I am worried about a possible infection or maybe just food stuck. I moved a little bit after my surgery, so I am very far from my surgeon. I took antibiotics (amoxicillin) for 7 days after my surgery, but I may have possible resistance due to having to use amoxicillin a fair amount because of reoccurring ear infections. I’m wondering if this is a normal type of discomfort, but I feel as though it is not as I was not really feeling pain or discomfort at all up until a few days ago.

I got my four wisdom teeth taken out on early on Monday and it is currently Thursday. My swelling peaked on Wednesday and has seemed to go down today. I am feeling overall pretty fine with minimal pain and am using my chlorohexidine rinse after eating and am taking my pain meds and antibiotics. I am making a big move for the summer, which will be an 11-12 hour drive for me and am hoping to leave on Saturday. All the schedule was very unfortunate timing haha. I am wondering if I should be worried about the move and if I should put it on hold. I have interviews set up for a couple jobs on Monday so I am unsure of how to go about my recovery. (I am not picking up anything heavy during the move). I do not want to suddenly get dry socket and be far away from where I got my surgery done. Any advice on how to go about the situation and if it should be okay would be greatly appreciated:)
