Hello
I am new to this site and am looking for some support and reassurance before I slowly go mad with worry!
I had a tooth extraction last Thursday so I am not on day 6 post extraction. While most the gum has healed, I am still getting some slight pain, (also some spurts of intense pain which last about 20 minutes) that happens about twice a day.
Also the gum is still quite sore,
I was not given antibiotics, but I fear I have an infection. I am NOT in unbearable pain nor have I had any fever or bleeding, but I'm still worrying as the site looks like it has yellow in it!? Is this normal? Also just below the site, I have a little indent that has some yellowish colour in it (could be an ulcer?)
Also when I have touched the site with my tongue, I get a very strange taste in my mouth,
I have attached a picture to help with my description,
Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance
Adam
