Suggest Treatment For Sore Irritating Socket Area Post Tooth Removal
I had a tooth pulled and ended up with a dry socket. I took antibiotic and the dentist put medicine in the area three days. I went away after that with pain medicine and antibiotic. I noticed in front of the socket I have a hard bump and the socket area is still sore not painful but irritated. What could be wrong? Am I healing?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Since you are telling you had a history of dry socket, it takes litle time to heal, the hard lump can be because of the inflamation. nothing to worry it will heal completely in 10 days duration. mean while you can do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
