I recently got my tooth extracted and it was really infected before I got it pulled and I'm TERRIFIED of getting dry socket. Does this look like its healing okay? Please help!

A dry socket is usually accompanied by severe pain and a bad taste/or smell. This happens after about 3-5 days after the tooth was extracted. If you don't have any severe pain, healing is progressing normally.
