I had a bottom molar extracted 6 days ago, and developed dry socket, I have just finished my antibiotics but still feel throbbing when I walk, my gum is still very swollen and I can feel something sharp at the side of my extracted gum.I have also developed a red blister in the gum on the top of the extraction. I am very worried, my dental surgery is closed this week.

You have to actually get the check-up done and if the dentist office is closed, do visit an emergency where they will Chat Doctor. Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metro lag 200 mg thrice daily (if you are not allergic to these medicines) will be required. Ibuprofen for pain can be taken. Do continue making saline gargles. Avoid placing hot bag externally. Hope these suggestions helped you. Thanks and regards.
