###Human: What should I do for severe pain with bad breath and taste after wisdom tooth extraction? ###Assistant: Hello. If it hurts a lot, it means that you have a dry socket condition, where the blood clot gets dislodged from the wound causing infection. You need to start taking antibiotics like Augmentin 625 mg and a painkiller. Also, use warm salt water gargling three times a day. Do not touch the area. And wait it out till you can see a dentist nearby. In such condition it takes time for full healing of the area, thus you have to be patient, get the wound cleaned and debrided by your dentist as soon as possible.
