<s>[INST] I had alveoplasty on Monday and its now Saturday. The oral surgon mentioned that I had nerves close to my nasal cavity and jaw bone that may cause problems. I had 5 upper teeth pulled and the pain is till excruciating. Most of the day I have a throbbing pain and my cheek feels as if its buring. What should I tell the surgeon when I call him to ask him for more pain management? [/INST] Hello there, pain for the first three days is considered normal. Since it's already been a week, pain could be attributed to infection in that area. Please mention if you have any swelling? If so there are chances for the canine space infection. Visit your oral surgeon and get yourself evaluated. </s>
