[|Human|] My sister had an upper molar pulled on last Wed. Her face is a little swollen and there is a cream color in the socket. She was afraid to touch it because of what the dentist said for the blood to clot. I noticed she has really bad breadth so I looked at and thought it might be infected. I told her to start rinsing it out and trying to get the stuff that was in it out and I am not sure if she could call for an antibiotic or something. She is rinsing every hour with Peroxide and sometimes saline solution. I looked at it and it looks like there is some different things but I am not sure if it is tissue and am a little afraid to start poking around.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the cream colored stuff within the extraction socket is the scar tissue or the healing tissue that is responsible for the filling up and healing of the extraction socket and there is a big NO to poke it, and you should not at all poke it or touch it. The swelling can be inflammatory swelling which can occur commonly after any surgical procedure due to soft tissue injury and will subside gradually. The bad breath from mouth can be due to poor oral hygiene in a fear of losing the blood clot, but now she can very much do proper brushing of teeth [avoiding the extraction site], use chlorhexidine gargles and also do warm saline gargles. As she still has swelling taking antibiotics like AUGMENTING 625 mg thrice a day, IBUPROFEN 400 mg thrice a day and Pantoprazole 40 mg early morning empty stomach can relieve. Do cold compress over the swelling. In case if the swelling does not resolve after a week more consult your dentist and get evaluated. Hope this information helps.
