First you should do xray or opg of your teeth, if tooth is fully extracted then you can take some precautions that is don't touch the affected area with your tongue.
Go for tetanus injection, also use povidone iodine gargle three times a day, luke warm water with salt is also useful, if pus discharge seen then go to nearest dental clinic and excavate the area if fresh bood is appearing then pack the extracted area with gauze plus povidone iodine.
