Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction dont worry take proper course of antibiotics given by your dentist after extraction .

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day after 24 hrs of extraction.

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
