[|Human|] Hi,I recently took out 2 lower teeth (pre molars) about 2 weeks ago and one of the sockets did not have a normal blood clot form, as a result there remained a small hole in the area. The hole was not very deep and although i suffered some pain for about 4 days after the extraction, I managed with painkillers. The pain is completely gone now but yesterday, i started noticing some pus coming out of the extraction site. This is now 2 weeks after taking out the teeth. It hasnt stopped since. Furthermore, I developed a skin rash along my jaw shortly after taking the teeth out, the rash has spread throughout the lower region of my face and Im very concerned. Please help.
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per your complaint if you have pus coming out of the extraction site then there is a strong possibility that the socket has not healed completely yet and there is infection leading to pus discharge. There is also a possibility that there is any leftover root piece in the socket that is flaring up the infection and causing pus formation. As far as rash over the skin of the jaw is concerned it can be due to allergic reaction to any medication that you might be taking post extraction. If not it can be due to allergic reaction to any food or skin cosmetic while can also be due to staphylococcus bacteria infection. You should consult your dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray will help in ruling out the exact cause of the pus discharge. If there is infection then a course of antibiotics along with irrigating the socket with antiseptic solution and warm saline gargles will help. If there is any leftover root piece, removing the same will help. For the rash as of now take Levocetrizine and do cool compresses but if not resolved consult a General Physician or a Dermatologist. Hope this helps. Regards.
