Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

For the pain you can take Ibuprofen ( if you are not allergic to any medicine ).Do salt water gargling.

Relax and the pain should settle down gradually.
If the pain increases or there is swelling or other symptoms please visit your dentist office and have it evaluated.

Follow the post extraction instructions .Gently massage the area externally and application of cold compress intermittently will provide relief.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
