Dry sockets for 6 weeks now! help!

hello i had my lower wisdom teeth removed on Dec 20th and formed dry sockets on each side. now it is  January 25th and i still have 2 dry sockets, i went to dentist twice and he said keep rinsing and it will just take longer to heal because i don't heal fast when i was young, and no i don't smoke or use straws, if there any ideas on what else to do?

Did he pack it with something?  When I had dry socket, I had to go in daily to get the wound packed with this strip.
