Is It Normal To Have A Thick Flap Of Gum That Reaches From My Removed Wisdom Teeth To First Molar?

I just had my wisdom teeth out about a week ago. I have a thick flap of gum that reaches from where my wisdom teeth were removed to my first molar. Is this normal? Also, a few days ago it started feeling like I always had a pill stuck in the back of my throat. I looked and it looked like there was a white sack in the back of my throat on my tonsils. I messed with it which I probably shouldn't have, but now I can't see a sack but the pill feeling is still there. What is that and what can I do?

Hello,
As you got your wisdom teeth removed, this flap can be because of healing is going on in the socket of the wisdom tooth which is normal.
But as you are mentioning that you also have a feeling of pill stuck in your throat, it is not related to this.
According to me you should visit a E.N.T. specialist for the symptoms of throat you are feeling.
Thank You
