Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Fluid Leakage Even After Tooth Extraction?

I recently had a tooth extraction due to swelling in my gums and fluid leakage from a particular tooth area.
I have very bad teeth due to poor dental care over a 20 year period. Since the tooth extraction, I still have the
leakage. No pain, but it is constant and it is concerning.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

This could be due to pus formation.
Take lukewarm saline antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete rest, avoid vigorous tooth movements.
If the symptoms still persists get a checkup done.

Take care!
