Here's a good tip:
Instead of chewing on the gauze that they give you, that quickly absorbs the blood... try using a teabag instead. It slows the flow of blood, helps the healing, plus it tastes better than bloody conjealed cotton

I had all four out at once when I was sixteen. They gave me a prescription for Tylenol with codeine, told me to take one about an hour after the surgery, then as-needed after that.
I took the first one, then ended up throwing the rest away. It never hurt; I never got swolen: it was a breeze.

How long should I expect to go w/ slight blood? I was told not to put any more gauze in so I wouldnt disrupt the blot clotting process.

You guys are all Wussesss!!! I drove home after having all 4 pulled out and I was awake the whole time during the procedure. They never put me under. The next 2 days were hell though. I have my mom to thank for that. She had to work and couldnt pick me up.
I would eat light, soft foods. Good luck.
