Dry socket? you be the consider.?

Ive had SEVERE stomach-ache in my mouth where on earth they pulled my wisdom tooth for times past couple days. I went within Tuesday and the dentist cleaned it out with a syringe, later he packed it next to some gauze with drug in it. I go back today for horrble discomfort, and he did the same piece, because he said the pack fell out. Does this mean I own dry socket?

All i know is that im in severe distress! The stuff they put in my mouth have given me a HORRIBLE taste and it smells really discouraging...other than going to the dentist, what can I do to back relieve the symptoms...(pain and swelling). Do I need to keep hold of rinsing with saline water? Can I still guzzle?

Answer:
It does indeed sound close to a dry socket to me, but I can't see your extraction site. Take some Motrin or Advil. That will help next to both pain and swelling. Keep the nouns as clean as possible. Sure, munch through what you can tolerate. Generally, soft foods would be best; mashed potatoes, Jello, etc. Call the Dentist and let somebody know him you'd like to be see again.

Good luck!! I know dry sockets suck!
It sounds like you enjoy it to me. You need to be in motion back to the dentist.
Yes! You do own a dry socket. I too had a tooth pulled almost 8 months ago and developeded a dry socket. It was the worst stomach-ache and actually didnt attain any better for about a month. I be on Lortab for the severe pain I have. All they can do is pack it and wait it out till it heal. Good luck.
Sounds like a dry socket. Don't verbs though, it will heal slightly well on it's own. The hole will close. And as for the swelling, motrin is awesome or any anti-inflamitory will do, they're adjectives the same. The doc should hold given you pain meds beside anti inflamitory in it. Just no smoking or sucking on straws or anything cuz you're plausible to pull the blood clot out again. (the hurtful red glob that was helping it treat but isn't there anymore) Good luck, yes, you can chomp through by the way. food will capture stuck in the holes though, freshly rinse good and brush weakly around the area to seize the food out.
That sounds like a dry socket to me. Follow your dentist
