10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #1: Swollen Neck Glands
Located in our neck is what is known as lymph nodes. These play an important part of the immune system and help to filter pathogens and toxins from the blood. They also serve as a kind of base from which white blood cells can be deployed if needed.
In the case of an infection, the lymph nodes can begin working overtime to help deal with the threat, and this can cause them to be swollen. A dry socket is not necessarily an infection, but the condition may still result in swollen lymph glands in a few cases. The symptom is not dangerous in itself and will likely pass once the dry socket is dealt with.
