Regarding irrigating the socket... you can use warm mildly sated water in the syringe. The syringe is meant to be used very gently and not forcefully. It is suppose to be a gentle irrigation, similar to the same force you get when you rinse. If you irrigate too hard, it will hurt and you can reopen the wound. So steady and very gentle.
