If you have medicine for dry socket in your mouth can you smoke a cigarette?

It's definitely not smart to smoke a cigarette with dry socket. As the socket tries to heal and reclot, smoking can prolong the healing process even more. Many dry sockets are believed to be caused by smoking initially, so just quit for a while and let it heal.

What is a natural remedy for dry socket?

There's not much you can do at home to remedy a dry socket. Dentists and oral surgeons need to repack the socket with a medicated dressing that helps with the pain and infection, but it doesn't speed up the healing process much. They need to heal on their own. So see your dentist if you have a dry socket or suspect one due to extreme pain.... if you must wait, rinse your mouth gently with salt water to keep the area clean and try not to focus on the pain.
