Wisdom Tooth Extracted, Filled With Brown Substance. Pain, Slimy Brown Stuff Near Site. What Is This Stuff?
i had my bottom wisdom tooth extracted a week ago and went to the dentist 4 days ago and he diagnosed me with dry socket and put a brown substance in the hole and told me that I didn't need to come back. It's been four days and the pain is coming back, i can also see some slimy brown stuff near the site which wasn't there before. I would like to know what this is and if i need to go back to the dentist

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
I would suggest you to take tab brufen TDS for 3-5 days for pain relief.
Your socket might be showing signs of healing.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
If the symptoms persists or worsen visit the Dentist and get a checkup done.
Take care!
