Dry socket, do you think I may have it?!


Question: Dry socket, do you think I may have it.?
I got the 4 wisdom teeth pulled out on wednesday night. The dr told me not to eat anything for 24 hrs so I was on a liquid diet. Yesterday night when I took the antibiotic it was way too much for my stomach and I threw it up. Obviously i got blood coming out of my mouth and then i rinsed it with salt water. I also put a gauze as directed by dr on wednesday. I tried to call him but he is moving to another state so he couldnt answer Anyways... this morning i woke up with pain on the side where i bled last night and i started to bleed again so i decided to bite a gauze for 30 mins. The pain is not huge but it does hurt more than the 3 others, do u think i have a dry socket.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
No you have not got a dry socket. A dry socket is just that 'dry', - its a hole that is not healing over. Some extractions bleed more than others, and some sockets hurt more than others. You must now try to eat soft foods when you take your antibiotics. You should see an inprovement in a few days.Health Question & Answer

Probably not. Dry socket is pretty excruciating. You may have just disrupted the blood clot that is why it bled. If they gave you some pain killers take those or something OTC.Health Question & Answer
