Answers:
its all normal!. the socket can bleed up to a day!. its fine!.
Dont smoke for over a week, drink or eat anything from a straw, dont have any alcohol for up to a week or 2 and dont eat on the side of extraction for about a day or 2!.
Have soft foods if its easier for you and tomorrow morning (or in 24 hrs of extraction) rinses with warm salty water every 2-3 hours for about a week!. this will help clean and heal the socket!.
The socket may be tender and sore for a couple of hours or days and thats all normal!. Panadol or whatever you take will help!.
If you feel any extreme pain call the dentist straight away

It is normal to ooze blood from an extraction site for a few hours following an extraction!. I hope your dentist gave you some gauze pads to bite down on!.!.!.these need to be rolled up and placed over the extraction site with a litle pressure!. If you start to swell, alterate an ice pack 10 min!. on 10 min off!. DO NOT smoke or draw from a straw!. This can disturb the clot that is, hopefully, forming and give you a dry socket, which is quite painful and u will end up in the dentist chair again!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

use crest pro health toothpaste and anelectric toothbroush and chew eclipse gum when u r bored!. when u r brushing ( 3 times a day) be careful on that spot!. turn ur toothbrush off when u need to brush that spot and also it doesnt matter if u swallow ur blood because u already have blood in your stomach it is not like it is bad for u !. if it is till bleeding the next couple days
go see your dentist and ask them wut to doWww@Answer-Health@Com
