What should I do if my tooth socket becomes inflamed after tooth extraction?

Please seek medical attention promptly. Under a doctor's guidance, receive antibiotic treatment. Patients with severe inflammation may require intravenous administration of anti-infective medications. Applying cold compresses near the extraction site can help reduce swelling and pain. Maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, irritating, or bulky foods. During wound healing, consume more nutritious soft foods. If inflammatory symptoms continue to worsen, or if you develop purulent discharge, severe pain, or similar issues, seek immediate medical care and follow your doctor’s instructions for proper management.
