Hi. Thanks for your quick response. So I called the OS service cause it was a little heavier and the OS who answered is also an MD so I explained what is going on. He was very nice. Explained to me that it is normal also and if i want I can put a cool damp guaze over the site and bite for 30 minutes. I dont want to do that because I do not want to pull the clot out. He told me not to rinse because it might have aggravated it. But I forgot to tell you and him that I have a slight cough. I noticed after I cough it bleeds more. i asked him if I will bleed to death and he laughed and said no. I also asked him will this eventually stop and he said yes, it will.
But again, i forgot to mention the cough.. What do I do? Will it eventually stop bleeding even with the cough? It is not a bad cough just at times I cough as gently as I can but there is sometimes mucus that needs to be cleared out. ugggg. They never mentioned coughing or sneezing, that I should not do it it is not on their pamphlet.
So here is the question.. Even with the cough will it eventually stop bleeding?
There is a nice black jelly like clot there and today earlier it was a grayish i am not sure what happened to the grey.
I am petrified of the dry socket. If i wake up tomorrow with no pain does that mean I might not have that to worry about being that it will be day 3?
Ok so I am a mess and i know it lol but I am just scared. My husband is funny he had a root canal (again) get infected and he had to have it out. He said he bled for 3 days and just swallowed the blood. He never got a dry socket or infection or anything. Why can't i just shake it off like it is normal to bleed and move on with my life?
Thanks
