Is this dry socket or healing properly?

[Finkiea]

Help me please.I recently got a tooth pulled on an emergency dentist appointment and it’s been two days. My mouth still hurts and my jaw line. I have a really bad dentist and need to switch but I want to make sure this isn’t getting infected or that I’m getting dry socket.

1. Extraction sites rarely get infected unless there was massive infection before the extraction. I very rarely need to prescribe antibiotics.
2. A dry socket is not an infection. Antibiotics will neither prevent nor cure a dry socket.
3. If you develop a dry socket, it will manifest 3-4 days post-op with enormous pain, bad breath, and foul taste. You would revisit the dentist for a sedative dressing. I prefer zinc oxide/eugenol mix.
