Sucking motion after wisdom teeth extraction (both bottom)?

So I know that i shouldn't drink from a straw after the procedure.

However, are other sucking motions bad as well?

Like the motion your mouth makes when you're making saliva then swallowing?

====Some other concerns I have is that I think the stitches on my right side is stabbing the back of my mouth. Is this a common occurrence?

    The reason for not using a straw is because you don't want to dislodge the clot (the thing stopping you from bleeding and starting recovery all over again)

    So I would avoid any kind of sucking motion

    Also dont mess with your stitches, either they will dissolve in due time or you can get them removed at the right time
