If you are not feeling any pain then stop taking medicine now. Maybe you are thinking too much about extraction. Extraction doesn't have long term effects like these. Try to concentrate on other things.
Try to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, use mouthwash, warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, apply ice pack outside of mouth over effected area if their is any swelling.
Consult doctor online or offline for better guidance.

Keep the area clean. And so warm water saline mouthwash.

Apart from medication, maintenance of proper oral hygiene is a must. No food lodgement should be there anywhere around it.
Next Steps
Warm saline rinses 3-5 times a day. Get the sutures (stitches) removed after 7 days.
Health Tips
If the pain doesn’t subside, kindly follow up with the dentist who did the extraction.
