Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction now you have discharge it can be due to infection in socket .

Consult dentist and go for Radiographic investigations done to evaluate the diagnosis .

Do betadine gargle twice daily .

Hope this will help you.
