A friend of mine nearly died from dry socket. He was in the military and had his wisdom teeth taken out. It got infected and caused him to have other issues. He suddenly had a major fever and was unconscious for a few days. the military hospital actually called his family and told them it was very bad and they might want to come.
Luckily, after a few days in the ICU he got better, but he was in the hospital for about two weeks from it.
