Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Chat Doctor. I would advise you to visit the dentist and get the pack applied in the socket and if suture required, it will be done to avoid further damage to the next molar. For the pain, you will need the painkiller like ibuprofen and dose of antibiotics including amoxicillin and Flagyl. Do warm saline gargling. Avoid vigorous rinsing of the mouth. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
