Doctor: Hello there ,  Thanks for writing your query,   Extraction of tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction .   usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .   After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.   i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain.   follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.   i hope this helps ,   take care.
