It is normal process for body to repair and heal a wound. Any injury like extraction will definitely cause swelling, pain, and redness. Do not keep inspecting the site with finger and tongue, It will heal in 7-10 days. Do not smokestack medication prescribedWarm water gargle thrice daily Brush carefully avoiding the extraction site. Chew on the other side of the mouth left/ right I mean. If it persists more than 5 days, check it with your dentist.regards.
