Dry socket 9 days latter question

Dry socket 9 days latter question


Dear Dr, after reading all of this I'm so thankful I found this site. This is day 9 with dry socket and I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind :(
So after I realized that I had dry socket day 2 after extraction of my lower let side wisdom tooth, I took the clove oil approach, I got very small cotton pieces ( Almost the same size and about the same shape of my original tooth ) filled the tip with 2 or 3 drops of clove oil and put it right inside the whole. For the first 3 or 4 days I could see that the cotton piece was filled with blood clots every time I would change for a new one ( About 2 or 3 times a day cleaning the socket with salt water and peroxide ) and then gradually the blood started to change into a yellow puss looking stuff the 4th day, this is my day 9 as I mentioned before and I still have that yellow stuff coming out when I change the cotton, just to clarify it is around the cotton piece just as how the clot was in the beginning is not pouring out of the whole. My question is if that is normal, the socket area looks dry around it and if I decide to take the cotton out of the whole it takes about 1 hour for the pain to come back. Should I stop putting that cotton piece inside the whole? Is it ok to continue doing it? I mean I don't know if a clot has to form now and I'm preventing that from happening or if that is not going to happen cause the body is healing in a different way? and also If I have to stop from inserting the cotton what can I do to help my socket to heal in a more efficient and natural way?  Thank you so much!
