Hello,   I had my top two wisdom teeth taken out on Tuesday 11/20. My surgeon told me that I did not need stiches after the tooth removal because they came out in one piece and everything was fine. Ever since the second day of having them removed, Ive felt and tasted a fluid seep from my left top socket. Is it possible that this is fluid from my sinus? If so, should I be concerned? I have a follow-up appointment scheduled with my surgeon on Tuesday. Maybe unrelated, but I have a sore throat now and quite a bit of discolored phlegm.
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually after removal of tooth, the socket is filled with granulation tissue which helps in healing. So the fluid which you are feeling can be because of this only. This sore throat and discolored phlegm can not be related to this extraction, it might be just a throat infection. But it will be good that once you should visit your dentist. Hope it will help you.
