Sore after extraction

Hi,
5 weeks ago i had tooth extracted lower left, i got dry socket & was sedated to have it clean out from infection, but i still have a red lump on the outer edge down the jaw of the extraction site. Ive been on 5 kinds of antibiotics.

It has been x rayed & dentist said there is no signs of infection, my glands are up in my neck all the time.

Ive also now got mouth sores, prob from all the tablets ive been taking.

Im really fed up & dont no what to do or think ?

Can anybody help !!! Thankyou

I would give up on the antibiotics for a while.  Switch to brushing your teeth with neem toothpaste (order on line) alternating with a fluoride toothpaste.  Oral cleanlieness is very important, although don't do anything they told you not to do.  You want to clean the teeth and mouth with a brush, but follow their wound care instructions carefully, even if it's stay away from it.  

I would drink green tea with MINT (or even plain mint tea).  Stash is an excellent brand.  I would take a probiotic or prebiotic to get your flora back to normal.  

Clove oil may help.  I am sending an article.
