<s>[INST] i had my back tooth extracted two weeks ago and now i m experiencing pain in my lower jaw. Feels like theirs a gland there and giving me earache. is this normal and what can i do to ease the pain. its especially painful when i eat, like a stinging pain. [/INST] Hi Dear, .Understanding your concern. As per your query you have got infection at extraction site. The probable reason for pain is dry socket formation . Sometimes after extraction due to vigorous action like forceful rinsing , sucking and swishing of oral cavity there is dislodgement of clot dry socket if form which cause intense pain. Due to dislodgment of clot there is entrapment of food debris and micro organisms which cause infection , also healing get delayed  . I would suggest you to consult dentist again . Doctor may clean the area with betadine regularly for 2-3 days and prescribed antibiotic course at least for a week . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and do warm saline rinses gently several times a day . Maintain proper oral hygiene .Hope your concern has been resolved.Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
