Hi, I had the second tooth from the back lower right removed 3 days ago. My gums and front teeth are now itching and on edge. And the gums directly above the extraction feel a bit sore. Is this normal following and extraction? The area where the tooth has been removed is fine and appears to be.

This complication may arise after extraction. If you are smoker or tobacco chewing habits. Please stop for 15 days. Gargle with lukewarm water with lil bit salt 7 to 8 times in a day. You will feel better.
