Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Dry socket is a condition when the healing of the extracted tooth socket is hampered due to early loss of blood clot.

I would advice you to visit the dentist and get the pack applied in the socket and if suture required , it will be done to avoid further damage to the next molar.

For the pain , you will need the painkiller like ibuprofen and dose of antibiotics including amoxicillin and flagyl.

Do warm saline gargling.

Avoid vigorous rinsing of the mouth.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards .
