<s>[INST] I had one of my wisdom teeth extracted 1 1/2 weeks ago. now for the past few days i have been feeling nausea in waves especially after eating. a gaggy tight feeling in my throat and a strange taste/odor i assume is coming from the tooth socket. is this a sign of an infection? [/INST] Thanks for using Chat Doctor.  Read your query.  If the tooth socket is not cleaned and maintained post extraction, it can cause the odor which may be the reason for the gag reflex or nausea feeling.  I would advise you to keep the area clean. Do salt water gargling. If pain can take a painkiller. If the symptoms persists or increases, have it reviewed from your dentist.  Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. </s>
