Hi...first you should no put any unsterile things in healing socket this may cause infection. Odour from that side is due to food lodegment which you are unable to clean .use mouth wash . take proper antibiotic.and if still painand discharge you have then consult your doctor.take care.that wound healing will take nearly one month time.
