Normal diet: You should be healing by now, even though you may still have some discomfort. You can eat whatever feels ok for you. This should be a normal diet , you are past the point of concern about a dry socket. If you have concerns the best person to talk to is the dentist or oral surgeon who did your extractions.

Dry Socket: You may eat anything you wish or can eat comfortably, be sure to rinse with salt water three to four times daily to keep the area clean. At 5 days out the chances of a dry socket are minimal in my opinion.
