Hi, I saw the oral surgeon today because I had yellow discharge coming out from a space where I just had my wisdom tooth extracted (bottom). I also have a very intense throbbing pain that goes to my ear and head, so I thought a dry socket, but the pus and liquid that comes out of the hole when I push on my cheek makes it seem more like an infection. The dentist said that it could just be a dry socket and he put medicated dressing in the hole, but it fell out about an hour and a half after he put it in, I still see yellow discharge, wouldn t that be an infection? He told me it wasn t but I am convinced otherwise.
