Are There Any Dietary Restrictions After Extraction Of Wisdom Teeth?

I recently had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed with the two on my lower jaw being impacted teeth. I recovered quickly needing to take painkillers only on day 1. However, on the morning of my fourth day, I rinsed to vigorously, and I started bleeding again. It's coming from only one side (the left) but it's not a lot of bleeding. From now do I have to start from square one and avoid eating certain foods again? I've just been able to eat eggs again, but I don't want to make my mouth worse with how far I've been treating it.
