Don't worry. 2-3 days rest is enough. Take medicine said by you doc, and maintain oral hygiene.

In case of an implant surgery pain and swelling will be less compared to other surgeries like surgical extraction.you should be feeling better within one week after surgery.anyways you can avoid biting anything hard on that side for a maximum of 6 weeks for proper bone formation.as for rest usually 2 to 3 days are more than enough.the remaining questions your surgeon should be able to answer.jope this helps
Next Steps
take your medicines correctly.clean the surgical site using a clean wet cotton,cotton squeezed in drinking quality water, to remove food debris after eating food.drink lots of fluids.avoid any aerated drinks for 1 week
