Default Dry socket after wisdom tooth extraction

I had my wisdom teeth extracted 4 days ago, left side upper and lower and a dry socket was discovered at the bottom one after having severe pain post op day 3. Doctor packed it with a dissolvable dressing today and prescribed amoxicillin 500mg TID. When should i expect the pain to subside? I am having some pain an hour ago took Ibuprofen and it subsided. The pain is radiating to the right jaw and down the left side of my neck is this expected? Should I go back and have the dry socket checked? The tissue surrounding the socket is also white. Is this normal? TIA
