Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have profusely bleeding from socket , you consult your dentist and go for treatment , irrigation of socket and zinc oxide eugenol pack .

You can apply cotton dipped in cold water and compress the socket .

Consult dentist as early as possible .

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
