Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
It seems to be an infection (probably tooth abscess ) after the extraction of the tooth.
I would suggest to rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day for few days.Take Ibuprofen or Paracetamol for the pain.
If the pain doesn't seem to improve in 2-3 days or if the pain get worse you should consult your dentist because you may need to take a course of antibiotics that he can prescribe you.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind regards,
