“Dry socket after wisdom teeth removal?”
This is day 8 now I got diagnosed with a dry socket on day 3, it has been a while. The pain is not getting any better. I've gone to many doctors and they say that it will get better in time but it isn't. I literally can't eat or drink anything.

Sorry to hear that you hVe been in so much pain for so long. Usually dry socket paste/dressing is placed in the socket for 3 consecutive days following diagnosis. You should feel better by the end of the second week. In the meantime refrain from brushing the area and rinsing.l vigorously. Do not try to remove food from the socket.
Absolutely go back to see the surgeon and have them check it, Area may need to be curetted out and packed with gelform to heal
It can take about 2 weeks for the wound to heal from a dry socket. If it doesn' improve by day 14, you should return to the dentist who did the extraction.
