Suggest Treatment For Extreme Pain After Tooth Extraction
I had a tooth pulled last monday and it was pretty complicated. I had some pain, and I took some of the pain meds that was prescribed to me but they made me very sick. Well closer to the end of the week called and left message due to pain getting worse. Have not heard back so I did some research and talked to some people. Mostly everyone believes it to be a dry socket. Im in extreme pain and everytime I take a breathe and air hits it its even worse. Is there a temporary solution for the pain until I get back to my dentist?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the inflamatory response to the bone cutting or trauma caused to the soft tissues. The sensitivity during the breathing or drinking is because of the exposure of the dentin of the adjacent tooth. It is not dry socket, dry socket occurs within 3 days after extraction .
Nothing to be panic, it will come down in 3days. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) and analgesics like diclofenac 50mg with serratiopeptidase.
Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
