You need not worry about dry socket unless you have any underlying medical conditions Diabetes, which is uncontrolled. Do jaw opening and closing excercises and hope you have taken the medications as recommended by your doctor, rinse your mouth frequently with warm salt water and see your doctor at the earliest if pain and swelling persist.
