Loss Of Appetite Appetite After Oral Surgery

[catcuddler]

All answers greatly received as I am at a total loss,

On 9/3/22 I had two rear, upper right teeth removed,including a badly broken wisdom tooth which more or less had to be wrenched out,I expected after this to have little to no appetite for 3-5 days,as I have had extractions before,and a combo of the anaesthetic and having a very sore mouth always kills my appetite,and as mentioned above this was quite a brutal extraction

I remained in pain and went back to the dentist and was diagnosed with a dry socket,treated accordingly and given antibiotics

Now almost 2 weeks laer I still have 0 appetite and I'm lucky if I can force one small item down per day,although over the weekend I ate nothing and just drank sugar free drinks and water.I have purchased a tonic from the chemist that is supposed to stimulate the appetite after illness but to no avail

During this time my temperature has also been sitting at 38oC and above on and off.I spoke to my GP today who said here is nothing he can do for me,that there is no treament for lack of appetite and I should return to my dentist
I am not really experiencing any ill effects,other than major dizzy spells but I know eating pretty much nothing for 2 weeks is not good for me

Any suggestions on ways,to stimulate my appetite or build up drinks would be greatly appreciate

TIA

Two wisdom teeth extraction, dry socket, antibiotics all in two weeks.
This loss of appetite would appear to be reasonable body response.
Don't be impatient, drink as much as you can and tempt yourself to whatever stimulates your gastric juices.

A small Sherry may stimulate your appetite .

Sqad the problem is nothing tempts my gastric juices,if I didn't force down a small amount every few days for some nutrition,and because I am fearful of fainting,I would eat nothing.Also I don't think alcohol as suggested on an empty stomach is wise

Have you tried Complan or similar? Avoid Slimfast type meal replacement drinks as they are designed to suppress the appetite and help you lose weight.

Try soups, broths, cereal, too. Something you can easily reheat if you can't eat much of it.

boy!

attempt to eat small frequent meals, try eating with others so that your are not paying attention or fretting over what you eat.
try soup out of a tea cup or an oxo cube several times a day.
