I had my bottom right wisdom tooth extracted on thursday morning, friday i had severe vommiting which I put down to the codiene pain relief tablets which i stoped taking, today I've noticed my stitches seem to have come out not fully but theres definately alot more out of my gum than before. Just wondered if this is normal for them to start coming out after 2 days

    This sounds fairly normal but if you have concerns you should probably give your dentist a call. They will be able to tell you if you need to be seen again. If you develop a fever you may have an infection which will require antibiotics.
