Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
It is strange that you have not been prescribe a analgesic after extraction. Nothing to be panic, If I am your treating doctor, i would have suggested you to take a of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with analgesics like ibuprofen instead of meloxicam because of its complications. Do saline gargling. Do no wear dentures for 2-3 days till the wound heals.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
