Tooth extraction infection

I had a upper left side wisdom tooth extraction 5 days back and I am facing a burning sensation over that area, I took a picture of it and noticed a white thing around the socket,  I consulted my dentist, she says it's a infection and would go away on its own with regular salt water rinse. I have been doing it since 3rd day of extraction and don't know how infection formed, and even after doing salt water rinses it doesn't seem to sooth over the area or give a relief. My dentist asked me to stop antibiotics as 5 day course is over. Please tell me what else can be done to reduce burning sensation over there. PS:  It happens even when I talk. Attaching photo for reference.
