Is Pain Around Gums And Jawline With Inner Cavity Being Whitish Yellow And Red Gums After Extraction Of Bottom Molar Normal?

I had my right, bottom molar extracted 6 days ago and I m still suffering with pain around the gums and along the jawline to the ear and up into my head. The inner cavity is a whitish yellow colour and I the surrounding gums are red with white bits in them. Should the pain be gone by now?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would like to tell you that pain, swelling, redness after extraction are common dont worry follow the post extraction instructions given to you properly, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Whitish yellow substance at the socket could be the healing tissue, dont worry it will be fine.

Take care!
