I had a tooth removed on Monday and it still really hurts. Not sure if I have Dry socket or an infection, or if it is normal.

Can post pic if anyone wants to look.
Thank you.

Hi Op, I am not a dentist, but I have had dry socket.

I had my tooth removed on the Thursday, by Friday evening I was in lots of pain. Saturday morning I found my dentist was closed until Monday so decided to battle through.

OMG the pain was unbearable. I tried ibuprofen, paracetamol, hot water bottle, cold pack. Nothing worked.

By Sunday evening I was crying.

The good news is, my dentist saw me as an emergency on Monday morning.

He flushed out my socket and repacked the hole. The relief was instant!

All I can suggest to you is to take OTC pain relief, go to bed and snuggle up warm.

First thing tomorrow, get in touch with your dentist, he/she should see you as an emergency and get you sorted.

Good luck OP, you have my sympathy.
