Uh Oh...Think I've Got an Infection!

Earlier today I noticed a large amount of yellow/brown fluid coating my back teeth after I had a bad taste in my mouth. After some investigating, I determined it had drained from my incision sites where my bottom wisdom teeth were removed. At first, I thought perhaps it was drainage from the stitches dissolving and tried not to worry about it. Fast forward to midnight tonight when I woke up in pain. I went to take a look at things and found more brown fluid. This time I touched the incision site on one side and a bunch of brown fluid drained out. Yuck! I also noticed the lymph nodes in my neck are rather swollen. I guess this could be the reason I didn't feel so great over the weekend. At least I'm not running a fever. I guess I'll be calling the surgeon's office in the morning to see if they want me to come in or phone in antibiotics for me.
