I have had both wisdom teeth that needed to be removed, pulled out at separate times due to how much damage was done to the first. The one that I had done first, I apparently managed to get some food stuck there which caused a secondary infection. I'm currently on Penicillin VK 500mg, which is taken every 6 hours, and I started out with 20 pills. from your experience of either having a secondary infection or knowing somebody who did, about how long should I expect to notice any improvement?
(I feel that that last bit could of been worded better.)

I can't remember how long to heal, but I was in a similar boat, but I had all 4 done at once. No pain from actual surgery but the suture on one managed to get infected and it was the most painful thing ever. Had to go back to the doc to get it irrigated with a hydro syringe (high pressure water squirt) got better after that.
Same, I can't remember how long it took. Just remember flushing out my sockets after I could with a syringe. Had a star from chicken and stars soup stuck under the stitches.
It shouldn't take too long to heal, I wanna say a month before it was reasonable. Not full but not awful. Though having a infection will make the healing take longer. You'll probably start to feel better about 3/4th the way through the pills but it's important you finish them all to make sure the infection is completely gone and not just beaten back.
Fortunately Penicilin is extremely fast and hard working, I noticed a difference within 2 days taking about the same dosage. Just make sure you keep at it and take them all, even if you think it's better.
I know I'll take them all and it been a few days since I started (Tuesday at 5pm and again at 11 pm) and still no relief. I'm taking 4 pills a day at 6 am, 11:30 am, 5 pm, and at 11 pm each day.
This fucking hurts like hell and tasted so foul before it was drained that I would rather lick mephisto's ass than taste that pus shit again.

They were both impacted, which is the reason why my upper wisdoms are staying. There isn't any socket to speak of since they were both in there good and had to be drilled to pieces to be removed. I'm pretty sure that for the second wisdom tooth, the surgeon said "Come out you son of a bitch" really quietly when trying to get the first piece out.

Stick to broth and liquids for a good while, it's a good way to lose weight if you're into that and it'll keep you from getting infected.
