How Can Yellow Bumps Around The Jaw Socket Be Treated?

I recently got the tooth in front of my wisdom tooth removed 3 days ago and I noticed some yellow bumps (Im assuming its puss) around the tooth socket on my jaw..I was wondering what should I do or should I try to get them out. Also my mouth has a bad taste and kinda bad smell.

HI..

WELCOME TO HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

AS PER YOUR COMPLAIN AFTER REMOVING A WISDOM TOOTH STILL THERE IS TOOTH REMNANT AND PUS DISCHARGE PRESENT THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF INFECTION IN SOCKET.

THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF DRY SOCKET ALSO.
BEFORE DIAGNOSE ANYTHING CLINICAL EXAMINATION OF ORAL STUCTURE MUST.
IOPA OF AFFECTED SITE HELP TO CHECK A TOOTH FRAGMENT POSITION.
CONSULT A DENTIST AGAIN FOR ORAL EXAMINATION.
IRRIGATION OF SOCKET AND PROPER ANTIBIOTIC COVERAGE HELPFUL.

I HOPE MY SUGGESTION HELPFUL TO YOU.
GET WELL SOON.
THANK YOU.
