[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 543602"] DS had his wisdom teeth out and had dry socket last week. Sounds very similar to how he felt. Gently rinse with salt water. No sucking through straws. Easy to eat foods, no spicy acidy etc foods and no smoking. Usually a blood clot forms to cushion the wound and fill the hole. When the blood clot doesn't fully form or gets dislodged too early, you get dry socket. Nothing they can do except pack it until it heals. Super dry mouth, stinky breath, fever indicates an infection but that isn't par for the course with dry socket. Alternate 600-800 mg ibuprofen with 2 extra strength tylenol, every 3 hours. (tylenol at 11, advil at 2, tylenol at 5, and so on) You can take advil or tylenol pm at nighttime if needed. Feel better soon [/QUOTE]
