| I just had 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted on Friday. It has been about 24
hours and I still see blood in my saliva. When is bleeding suppose to stop
completely. I am not a smoker or drinker.

I wouldn't worry about blood-tinged saliva. I would call the surgeon
if you're seeing big jelly-clots.

| Thanks. Also, after the surgery, I experience bouts of nausea and vomiting
for about 4 hours. Is that normal after general anesthesia?

Ah yes ...the old nausea and vomiting. I've had general anaesthesia
several times in the past and I experienced the same thing. My
surgeons all said it was normal.

Depending on the anesthesia, it could be (of course, that is the reason
you can't have anything to eat for several hours prior to general
anesthesia. Aspiration of vomitus during anesthesia can be disastrous).
Nausea is also associated with some of the post-op pain medications
they may have given you.
