Here’s the dealio. The dentist should’ve given you a 24-hour emergency contact number, because a similar thing happened to me.
I won’t like, this is going to be graphic.
After about 5 days of sitting back, sucking liquid hydrocodone, I felt very… unsatisfied. I began to “work on myself”... sucking down “fluid” in my mouth that I had thought was saliva. After I finished, I was like “I can’t believe I’m drooling this much” and leaned over to wipe my mouth with my hand… and it was red. Very red.
I realized that for the past half hour or so, I was freely drinking blood. Yeah… heart rate went up during the “activity” and that apparently found its way through the wisdom teeth gashes. I went to the bathroom and could literally “full spit” blood from my mouth every five seconds (like when you come up from under the pool and spit out water) for around an hour.
I called the number, pretty panicked, and they had me use ice chips and water… to hold it in my mouth and spit as needed. After about 6 minutes, the cold temperature basically “closed the wounds”. I kept it up for 20 minutes or so, just to be sure.
I took it very easy for the next few days… and I hope you will too. Bed rest, my man…
