Hello doctor, I got four wisdom teeth out last Monday (a week ago), and the pain has been slowly decreasing, except my jaw is still stiff and hurts a little. I looked in my mouth tonight and my bottom holes have not filled, it looks to have white/yellow stuff in it and my breath smells, no matter how many times I brush or use mouthwash. Could this be dry socket even though I am not having any pain in my gums and it is a week from when I got them removed?
Hello. It might be a dry socket, but usually, dry socket appears just three days after the extraction with excruciating pain and a smelly breath. If that is the case, you need to check with a local dentist stat.  However, sometimes what happens is while extracting a tooth, some sharp bony edges might remain which also cause pain post extraction. In this case, you need a radiograph/ X-ray of the involved tooth. But since you have not uploaded any such picture of X-ray, I would advise you to visit your nearest dentist.
