Hello, Nanc! How are you?

It is normal for the sockets to remain sore for awhile, after extractions.

Whether or not you ask for more pain medications is up to you. How severe is it?

The FDA classifies Tylenol 3 as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
