Get An IOPA Xray and you need to consult if the cheek is also turning red.Is this the same side that you got the tooth extracted from. Warm saline rinses can be useful aids.

Three weeks is a really long time. By this time you should be good with your food and diet. You should go back to your surgeon to have a check on that hard growth in your oral cavity.
