Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Rotten smell can be due to the development of dry socket at the site of extraction socket.
Gargle frequently using warm saline or betadine.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Rinse your mouth after every meals.
Clean the socket using gauze soaked in povidine iodine solution.
Please do visit a dentist if symptoms persists.
Take care.
