i have been in pain for a few days now, and am worried as to what it may be. ive considered dry socket, but the pain is not
in my gums it is
in my jaw and
in the tooth beside the extraction site. i have been taking antibiotics, and painkillers, but it just doesnt get rid of the pain fully. there are stitches that go from the extraction site all the way up towards my upper jaw, which i dont understand why they are there, or what the dentist did to me.
