Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to take an x-ray of the tooth that was extracted, the half part which is left in the socket has developed an infection, i would suggest you to visit to an Oral Surgeon and plan for the removal , if it is impacted in the bone then it can be safely removed by a minor surgery, take tab almox C BD, tab Aceclofenac serratiopeptidase BD, and tab rantac BD for 3-5 days, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, maintain a god oral hygiene.


Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

How do you know that extraction is incomplete?Did you take post extraction x rays?
The current symptoms could be due to loss of clot too.you might require different management altogether, in case of dry socket.Therefore please visit your dentist for follow up.

Meanwhile please do cold application on the wound.you can also take ice creams if you feel comfortable.
Also do warm saline rinsing twice daily and see your dentist soon.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
