I have numbness after wisdom teeth removal. How do I recover?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you have undergone surgery for wisdom tooth removal and cyst removal, it might sometimes cause injury to the nerve (inferior alveolar nerve) underneath the wisdom tooth region. The nerve involvement is the cause of the numbness. Depending on the nerve injury, it might take time for the nerve to be repaired. The medications that you have been prescribed are for nerve repair.
