Replying to Question about wisdome teeth pain

so i had my wisdom teeth out about 6 days ago, last thursday to be exact.

and the pain is still substantial enough to the point that i need pain killers. its mainly my right side. my left side doesnt hurt.

i've been rotating vicodin and ibuprofen every four hours.

none of my family have had theirs done and i had to fly back to CA yesterday for work. so i'm kinda on my own about it now.

so i'm just wondering if its normal for the pain to last this long? and how long you guys were taking pain killers for?

thanks Dr. NS
