It is necessary to take anti-inflammatory medication after tooth extraction. In general, tooth extraction can cause gum bleeding and inflammation, which may lead to pain. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs can help suppress inflammation and relieve gum pain. However, a professional doctor's diagnosis is required before taking such medication to confirm whether it is truly necessary. Moreover, proper oral care after tooth extraction is the most important. It is recommended to rinse the mouth with warm water daily and maintain regular oral hygiene to reduce the likelihood of inflammation.
