What causes a sore throat after tooth extraction?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Sore throat after tooth extraction may be caused by various factors, such as trauma during the extraction procedure, swelling due to wound infection, or pharyngitis resulting from irritation of the throat. In addition, referred pain following tooth extraction may also affect the throat area. For this condition, patients are advised to receive symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance and pay attention to oral hygiene and dietary adjustments to promote wound healing and relieve throat discomfort.
