Chances are it is normal. The dried blood and food that gets trapped in there will smell, and since you aren't brushing the socket it will start to smell. Rinse with warm salt water up to 5 times a day to help clean it out and prevent infection. If it continues then see your dentist to make sure it is not an infection.
