Hello, I just got a tooth extraction done on Thursday, it is now Saturday evening.  Yesterday it was feeling a lot better, but when I woke up today I was in a lot of pain so I am still taking Hydrocodone today for pain relief, there is also swelling of the tooth extraction area.  I looked at the area with a flashlight and it looks pretty bad, I am not sure what is normal and what is not.  It has some dark colors, greenish, and white colors.  It is the weekend, obviously, so I cant contact my dentist until Monday, possibly even Tuesday if they are gone for Labor Day.  I am very worried!  I did eat brocolli for dinner, so maybe that was contributing to the green color?  But I have rinsed with salt water and its still there.   I can probably send a picture if thats needed.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling can be because of the infection in the extracted socket region. The greenish white discharge can be pus because of the infection. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with painkillers. If the swelling does not subside in 3 days consult an oral physician. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
