Hie don't worry this will resolve on its own. Proper healing and wound closure will take approximately 1 month but you will find drastic change and relief within a weeks time.
Next Steps
take medication and painkiller as prescribed by your doctor. Do warm salt water rinses after every meals. No touching with finger or tongue over the extracted site.

This is normal. Let the area heal itself first.
Do lukewarm saline rinsing 2-3 times a day.
It will subside.
