Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had all four wisdom teeth pulled nine days ago. Only the one on the bottom right tooth is very painful and when I push near it all this foul smelling yellow stuff comes out. What is wrong? Also, having headaches.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You may have dry socket condition on that side. It occurs due to loss of blood clot in the early days since extraction.
Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week or two to get some relief. You may need antibiotics and painkillers for a week or two.
So, go back to your dentist for a thorough clean up of the infected site.
