By definition, acute cough is one lasting <3 weeks, sub-acute cough lasts 3-8 weeks, and chronic cough lasts >8 weeks [8]. Most acute coughs raise minimal concerns among health practitioners as they are generally caused by URTIs, usually have a short duration, and are self-limited.
Healing is a complicated procedure after tooth extraction. It may take from 3 to 5 weeks in normal person but it will take longer in diabetic patient, presence of infection after extraction, malnutrition, complicated surgical extraction, and smoking. Complete healing with bone deposition and remodeling will take from 3 to 6 months.
Gentle rinsing with a prescription mouthwash to keep the area bacteria free may also be recommended after the first 24 hours. Severe tooth pain that occurs 3-4 days after a tooth extraction could indicate a dry socket. For this type of pain you should see your dentist.
