Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have got a failed extraction as the tooth might have partially broken and it seems like there are remaining root pieces in the socket and due to infection there is white stuff or pus along with pus coming out of the extraction socket..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and x ray of the socket can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly.
He can remove the remaining portion of the tooth followed by irrigation of the socket with antiseptic solution and advising you to take a course of antibiotics and painkillers along with doing warm saline gargles..
Taking a soft diet and maintain a good Oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
