What Is The Sore Pimple At The Site Of Tooth Extraction?

I had my all of my wisdom teeth out about 3 weeks ago. I did everything they told me to do, and I was doing great until today, when I was flushing out the bottom areas with salt water, when I noticed a pimple looking thing where one of the teeth was extracted. I thought it might be some food, so I brushed my teeth right after, and it popped! now I m just sore..is it an infection?
