Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query pus from extraction socket is not good it can be due to infection in socket .
For this you should consult dentist and go for Irrigation of socket and zinc oxide eugenol pack if your extraction socket has infection .
Follow post operative instruction given by your dentist .
Take proper course of medication prescribed by your dentist
Consult dentist for visual examination of socket.
Hope this will help you.
