Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This brown discharge which you are mentioning can be just a normal discharge which may be because of healing socket. As it happens in some cases but if it does not reduces after 7 days then you have to visit your dentist again and get the area examined for any infection.
Hope it will help you.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Anyone with a toothache should see a dentist at once for diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, a toothache and the condition that is causing it can worsen. Removal of the entire tooth (extraction) or necrotic dental pulp (root canal / endodontic treatment) is the only successful treatment.
Antibiotics such as penicillin or metronidazole may be also required.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
