Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Bleeding from the extraction socket caused due to-unhealed socket which interferes with formation of granulation tissue.
Take amoxycillin tablets complete course.
Curettage as well as dressing the socket with ZOE or betadine may enhance wound healing.
Swish with lukewarm saline frequently.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take care.

hello
bleeding at the site of extraction after 20 days is probably due to secondary infection where granulation tissue bleed spontaneously
the secondary infection in most of the cases is due to lack of proper oral hygiene maintenance and infrequency in luke warm saline rinses
so what i would suggest is that you pay a visit to your dentist who will do a currettage of the socket and clean the socket with saline and betadine and give zoe dressing
you would need to take the zoe dressing frequently for a few days
in the mean while you can also take following medication
A.clavum 625 mg twice daily for 5 days
b. any painkiller with serratiopeptidase twice daily for 5 days
c.omnacortil 10 mg twice daily for 3 days
also you should go for luke warm saline rinses for 8-10 times daily
hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Bleeding from the extraction socket occurs due to secondary infection in the socket delaying the wound healing.
Visit to the concerned Dentist and get the checkup done curettage and irrigation of the socket with betadine and saline water is required.
Take a course of antibiotics under the prescription of your Dentist.
At home take lukewarm saline saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope this helps out,
Regards.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for writing in.
Bleeding from socket 20 days after extraction indicates there is some granulation tissue left or may be some secondary infection in that area.
You need to get curettage done of that area.
Also do betadine gargles.
Complete your course of antibiotic.
Visit your dentist for further check-up.
Take Care

Hi,
The healing of the extracted socket takes 3-4 weeks. Do not take antibiotics on your own. Consult your dentist to determine the healing of the socket. Take warm saline gargle for faster wound healing.
