Is It Normal To Have Yellowish Fluid Leakage And Bump On Jaw After Tooth Extraction?

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday Dec 30th. So far my top teeth had been okay, but the bottom teeth I'm a little concerned about. On my Left I feel a bump on my jaw also that same side has been leaking this really nasty tasting yellowish fluid sometimes mixed with very little blood. That side also is kinda of painful I want to know if this is normal after wisdom teeth extraction or should I be concerned.

hi, thanks for your query.the problem is the extraction site you have been complaining is infected.Sometimes, the blood clot in the socket breaks loose, exposing the bone in the socket. This is a painful condition called dry socket.Your dentist will clean the tooth socket, removing any debris from the hole, and then fill the socket with a medicated dressing or a special paste to promote healing. visit your dentist for further treatment.hope this is helpful.
