Hello! Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Pain in the extraction site even after 9 days after extraction suggests non healing of the site.
you must consider checking if the blood clot is retained in the site. It can be a dry socket. You did not write down which tooth was extracted. Make sure your blood sugar is under good control if you are a diabetic.You must visit
your doctor immediately,he will give you a antiseptic dressing in the socket.
with your oral ulcer, go for a anasthetic gel.
