Extraction pain

So I did my extraction. I ended up with stitches because my wisdom tooth was fused to the molar so they had to remove them both. I can't open my mouth wide enough for anything without feeling like I'm straining the stitches. I'm in a lot of pain, but I want to eat. Is there anything I can do without tearing my stitches. Swallowing even hurts. I can't even take another dose of meds for another couple of hours. Ugh I'm so miserable.
