Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Undeestanding your concern. As per your query you have blood filled blisters at extraction site which is normal after every extraction for first 2-3 days. As you have stage 4 liver disease your immunity is highly compromised, i would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. Follow all post operative instructions such as do warm saline gargles, do not suck or swish any liquid forcefully , do not eat hard food and avoid any kind of vigorous exercise . Eat very soft food. Drink cold water and have ice cream for rapid healing for 48 hours . Take combination of ibuprofen and diclofenac . Visit dentist once if symptoms keeps on exaggerating or if bleeding does not stop .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
