Thank you Bryanna.

I'm sorry that I wasn't super clear. I had my surgery last Wednesday and this is the worst day that I've had thus far, with headaches and extremely low levels of energy. ALl I've been eating is yogurt and mashed potatoes and am unsure when to start progressing. It's hard to bite because my left cheek (same side as oozing) is swollen and felt like it had a hard lump in my cheek.

The doctor (I think oral surgeon resident) saw me on an emergency basis today and told me it looked like a "little infection". He looked around and I told him my symptoms (almost constant brown and terribly smelling/tasting liquid oozing from the socket). He flushed it twice and told me to do this many times and that the more I did it the better. He gave me amoxicillin and metronidazole to take for the week. I'm not used to taking pills and two at a time is a lot for me. I stopped taking the ibuprofen that I was prescribed because I didn't want to be managing 3 kinds. I feel as though, like I said, that the pain I'm getting is fairly equal between the bottom two sites even though one is causing me a lot more trouble ooze wise than the other. Maybe I need to keep taking the ibuprofen.

Thank you for your wise insight. My biggest goal is to get some energy back and to start trying new food. That constant gross taste in my mouth has made these last 6 days especially difficult. I hope that things start to turn around quickly.
