Molar And Wisdom Tooth Taken, Yellow Color Around Extraction Area, Irritation. Infection?

I had my top left wisdom and molar taken out on the same day. That was 5 days ago going on 6. I see the hole getting a little smaller by the day but I do see some white but more yellow around the extraction area. Not really pain but I do feel a little irritation here and there is it infected or something to worry about?

Dont worry and follow the post extraction instructions given to you properly.

Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you.
Take lukewarm saline and antispetic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete rest.
