Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pain in the tooth socket even after seven to eight days can be due to formation of dry socket ( happens if the healing socket clot gets dislodged due to some reasons).

I would advice you to visit your dentist and get it reviewed and he will put local medicine in it for healing.

Continue with the medication flagyl and painkiller.

If you are a smoker , reduce smoking as this will prevent early healing.

Do not gargle vigorously, but continue with warm saline gargling.

Get it checked with your dentist.

Thanks and regards.Any further queries is always welcome.
