Thanks Bryanna for your guidance.

I talked to the oral surgeon on the phone today and he said it was ok to use the neti pot. It does help, exp. in the morning when the green stuff comes out in chunks. I stopped using the vics in my nose and am just dealing with the smell. It's hard to tell at this point if the antibiotics are working. Yesterday I did not see any infection fluid in the socket, today I saw it. The smelly infection coming out of my nose continues to be there, but I believe it is subsiding. I quit taking my IBU last night and felt tremendous paid in the top left wisdom tooth socket. When I told my surgeon this he kind of chuckled, like I am making everything up, he said, "going full circle". I have another appointment with him on Friday. What is the process to get a second opinion from another oral surgeon? I know these types of things take referrals. Do I need to go back to my dentist?
