Its my 4th day today post extraction Ive kept a clean gauze in it ever since Ive gotten the procedure, I had 2 at the top right get pulled one was infected and inflammed my whole cheek, and also I dont have stitches in neither just a big black hole. Seems to be healing fine just paranoid about getting dry socket. Ive been smoking just pulling very lightly but I havent ate anything in 3 days because Im nervous Ill mess the healing up, because everytime I try & eat something I catch myself swallowing and causing suction just a habit for me so thats why I havent ate. I need someone to tell me how long I should be taking it easy for and when can I normally start chewing and eating stuff without disrupting the clot. Its still a big hole and wouldnt want to get nothing in it to get infected again..... any answers?
