[|Human|] I got my two lower wisdom teeth removed on July 28th, 2014 and went to my post- op appointment two weeks later and my oral surgeon informed me that I had two dry sockets, he said that because I take birth control I had a one and three chance of getting dry sockets even if I took care of my teeth perfectly after they were extracted. They flushed out my sockets and gave me this syringe filled with this yellow gel which was a 2 week supply of dressing to put in my sockets twice a day and some mouth wash to keep food and infection out of my sockets. After three more weeks my right dry socket totally healed and stopped hurting, but my left is still in pain to this day and I have a lump on the lower left side just above of my jawline. Also, the whole lower left half of my face is numb and has been for the past week. Ive never had any surgeries or dental procedures done before this one. Ive never even gotten a cavity. Im utterly exhausted and depressed from being in constant pain and consistent throbbing. I have been popping advil/tylenol/ibuprofen since July 28th because of course I am severely allergic to hydrocodone... So please someone give me some advice or some hope at least.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have pain and facial numbness after tooth extraction don't worry it can be due to infection in socket and facial numbness can be due to nerve injury causing paresthesia during injecting local anesthesia.  I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for examination of socket and do regular follow up with your dentist, in meantime do warm saline rinses gently 2 -3 time a day. For pain, you can take medicine like petrol DT dissolve in water, and for numbness you can take tablet erosion forte by consulting with your local doctor. Hope this will help you.
