Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You have to administer amoxycillin along with analgesics.
Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.
Avoid spicy foods.
Anxiety and stress has to be avoided.
Take adequate rest.
Irrigate the socket with betadine and apply eugenol as well as lignocaine into socket.
Hope this helps.

Hi dear
Thanks for the Question
As per your saying it seems you might have developed the Dry socket which is common complication after extraction and yes it is very pain full.
so i advice you to please continue with your analgesic as well as antibiotics, do warm saline/beatadine gargle at least five time day. if no relief visit your dentist and tell him to place packing on extracted area
Regards
