Mystery Odor

If one is having a loud, horrible decay smelling odor, coming from a 10 month old extraction site (still not completely healed), that travels through the air like a gas, WHAT could be causing the odor?  I've been on almost every antibiotic in the country, with no luck in stopping the odor (not even penicillin). Perio mouthwashes as well as peroxide increases the odor and gum irritation at the extraction site.  There is a fleshy hot pink ish tissue sitting where the blood clot used to be. Please help! Every time I come around, people start to cough and choke and sneeze and sniff all over the place (even if they are on the next aisle in the grocery store)..... :(

Have you been to an oral surgeon?  Or another dentist?  If the area is not healing and there's a a bad odor, it may be infected or there may be something decaying in the socket.  I would recommend going to an oral surgeon and getting it checked out.
