Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have gone through your query and can understand your complain. As per your complain dry socket is an unhealed socket and becomes symptomatic at least 5 to 7 days after tooth extraction and even if it occurs it is not seen to cause fainting or throwing up. Secondly it can also occur due to side effect or anaphylactic reaction to any medication. Last but not the least it can be related to some disorders with the brain.

So as you have already been investigated it will be better to get proper evaluation done by a Neurologist. As far as Dry socket is concerned it is not the cause.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
