How Can Severe Pain After Dental Extraction Be Treated?

I am in severe pain from a lower molar extraction three days ago. I have been taking 4 ibproufen every 6 hours along with 2 norco 5MG tablets. The pain subsides but only for 2 hours then I am back to the drawing board. I want to also add I had the PRF with bone graft on this site. Can you still get a dry socket and if so is this what is going on?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain after 3 days of extraction and graft can be due to Infection at the site or can be inflammation that is a regular course of any surgical procedure..

If the pain is unbearable then you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

A clinical examination and x ray of extraction site should be done so that the exact cause of the symptoms can be ruled out..

For now you can take Ketorolac or Tramadol for pain relief..
Do cool compresses over the cheek..
Apply Lidocaine gel over the extraction site..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
