How To Reduce Pain While Taking Breath After Tooth Removal?
I had a tooth pulled last monday and it was pretty complicated. I had some pain, and I took some of the pain meds that was prescribed to me but they made me very sick. Well closer to the end of the week called and left message due to pain getting worse. Have not heard back so I did some research and talked to some people. Mostly everyone believes it to be a dry socket. Im in extreme pain and everytime I take a breathe and air hits it its even worse. Is there a temporary solution for the pain until I get back to my dentist?

Hello,
Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Yes it can be possible that it is a dry socket , as dry socket occur in cases of complicated extraction,and there will be severe pain with delayed healing of socket.
For the treatment you have to visit a good dentist as he will place a pack in the socket for one week and then it will be relieved.
Hope it will be helpful.
