question: I had my back tooth pulled a month ago - have been treated for dry socket - entire right side of face is sore when I talk, eat or drink.  Went for follow-up to surgeon yesterday and said there was a lot of puss coming out of the hole where he pulled teeth - put me on Clindamycin HCL 300MG 4x day.  How long will it take for me to be able to eat normally again without so much pain.  Also, taking Vidoden which isn't helping the pain.
