Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The nausea and vomiting can be secondary to the drugs prescribed after extraction particularly antibiotics and analgesics. These drugs causes severe gastritis and cause vomiting and nausea. Nothing to be panic, If i am your treating doctor I would have suggested you take antacid like ranitidine 150mg BID before food and aniemetics like domperidone BID. If the vomitind does not stop or if it is more than 4-5 times a day then immediately consult a general physician. Because you will get dehydrated and feel weak so consult immediately. Consume lot of liquid, drink tender coconut.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
