Month after having wisdom teeth removed pain?

So until recently my mouth was fine. But I noticed that my lower jaw hurts on the left side. I flush out the holes from surgery with water daily, but my cheek seems swollen on that side and when I smile, white stuff comes out of the hole. I'm really confused because I had thought that the hole was almost grown up and stuff had definitely stopped coming out of it. And I really don't know how to explain this to my dentist either. Help?

Wisdom teeth and pain meds?

I had all 4 of mine extracted today, and the oral surgeon gave me Tylenol with codeine for pain. I don't like codeine, because it makes me very tired and inattentive.

Can I get MORE wisdom teeth after recently getting them out?

I'm feeling pain on my right bottom moral area. It feels the same as when my wisdom teeth were growing in. Could this be a tooth growing in, or something else? I'm 16 by the way. Does that mean that I could still have teeth that still need to come in?

Is it safe to eat solid foods 5 or 6 days after wisdom teeth removal (i have no pain at all)?

I got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled thursday (it's tuesday now) and I have utterly no pain left. I am in no discomfort and not on any painkillers anymore. I want to start eating solid foods and chewing with my molars but I'm not sure if it will mess up the stitches in the back. Also, am I still at risk for dry socket at this point?
