It's completely understandable to be worried about this situation. Leaving cotton in for 5 days after a tooth extraction can increase the risk of complications, so it's important to address it right away.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Contact your dentist as soon as possible: this is the most important step. Don't try to remove the cotton yourself, as this could further irritate the extraction site. Your dentist will be able to remove it safely and assess the condition of the wound.

If its abscess you need to drain it. Some ayurvedic 'pichus' (herbal medicated oil swabs) are very important and effective.

Hello lybrate-user ji
very difficult to analyze this without pictures. Generally post extraction discomfort is normal for a few days. Any escalation in pain should be immediate brought to the notice of your doctor to avoid any sequelae. Most usually simple medicine (which are a continuation of post extraction prescription) and some changed oral hygiene habits can drastically improve the situation.
