Since there is a cavity in the tooth preceeding the lower wisdom tooth which was finally removed and the wound should have been healed and closed in two weeks the other tooth then should be filled if no root canal required. It is often noticed that RC is reqd for such tooth. Do your husband has diabetes or any other health issues then that has to be taken care of

You have mentioned dry socket, the appropriate treatment for that is use of local antibiotics and systemic analgesics. Kindly get a radiograph done and ask your dentist to irrigate and flush the area before inserting the local medication.
