Suggest Remedy For Pain Caused After A Molar Extraction

I had my right, second molar from the back extracted 3 days ago. I went back yesterday & they flushed it with disinfecting mouth rinse, and packed it with something that taste like cloves. Can I use Peroxyl mouth rinse or.doni need to wait until it heals? It has been hurting this morning & staggering 800mg ibuprofen and Tylenol isn't helping

Hello,
You are describing a delayed healing from the extraction. You may be familar with the term dry socket. I recommend that you take a prescription antibiotic. Call your dentist to inquire if you are not taking an antibiotic at this time. You should contact your dentist and report your symptoms. Try to take two Ibuprofen and two Tylenol at the same time. Keep taking at regular intervals to control pain. You may need to return to your dentist for packing additional medication in the socket. Follow all instructions provided by your dentist closely. You should not rinse after packing has been placed in the socket until directed by your dentist. Usually this will be the next day. Rinsing with warm salt water or peroxyl will assist healing. Keep the ara clean and do not let any debris get caught in the socket.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you feel better and have improvement with the healing soon.

helloo...reaing ur query i must say that it must be a dry socket...but dont worry...u have to take antibiotics(amoxicillin+metronidazole) and can continue with ibuprofen..then the socket is filled with medicated pack..(which has to be changed after few days)..then do salt water gargles as many times as possible daily..care must be taken not to spit out too hard(chances of dislodging clot are there which hampers the healing).dont touch area with fingers tongue or toothbrush..dont bite hard food stuff with that area .and mouth wash can be used....go to dentist after few days and get the medicated pack removed...be cool..hope ur benefitted something with this reply..have a healthy day!!
