Answers:

Getting your teeth extracted is never fun, sorry you have to experience it. But it really does sound like it is healing.
Remember you can always rinse with warm salt water that really sooths the gum; 1tsp. salt to 8oz. of warm water as warm as you can handle the water. Just remember DO NOT suck with a straw or smoke; of course you wouldn't smoke!;
that can pull out the blood clot and cause dry socket, VERY PAINFUL!!!!! Good luck you should be feeling better soon.
