Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain it can either be an abscess caused due to Infection or can also be a hematoma formation..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and an x-ray of the extraction socket is to be done to check whether tooth was completely removed along with its roots or not..

In case if there are some remnants of tooth then they will be removed followed by antibiotics and painkillers..

In case of just Infection antibiotics and painkillers will be advised followed by debridement of the area followed by irritation with antiseptic solution..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
