Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Dry socket is usually the infection of the extraction socket because of dislodgement of blood clot due to one or many reasons.

I would suggests to continue doing salt water gargling ,but avoid gargling vigorously. Relax and do not keep on probing the socket.

For pain Ibuprofen can be taken (if you are not allergic).Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and Metrolag 400mg as prescribed is to continued. Pain and the infection will gradually subside.

If the symptoms increase ,have it reviewed by your dentist.
