Suggest Remedy To Reduce Swelling In Gum Under Extracted Molar
I had a bottom molar extracted 6 days ago, and developed dry socket, I have just finished my antibiotics but still feel throbbing when I walk, my gum is still very swollen and I can feel something sharp at the side of my extracted gum. I have also developed a red blister in the gum on the top of the extraction. I am very worried, my dental surgery is closed this week.
The signs and symptoms which you have described suggests that the socket is not healed yet and there is infection in it. You have to actually get the check up done and if the dentist office is closed , do visit a emergency where they will drain the infected tissue and put medication to induce healing .
Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metrolag 200 mg thrice daily ( if you are not allergic to this medicines ) will be required.Ibuprofen for pain can be taken .
Do continue making saline gargles . Avoid placing hot bag externally.
Hope this suggestions helped you .
Thanks and regards.
