I romove my tooth on wednesday so can l use dettol to wash my mouth because sometimes l feel pain on my ear so l do not now if is infection ?

No: Important that you return to your Dentist to examine you for infection of the extraction site and surrounding tissues. Do not use a Dettol intraorally as it can be toxic if swallowed. You need professional help. Do not try to do this yourself.
