My dermatologist extracted some whiteheads, after 2 days some of the extracted pimples are still swollen. what should i apply on those?

Soap and water: Refer to your dermatologist about overall management of your acne. Extracted pimples will be red and swollen for a week more. Avoid using peroxide, bacitracin, neosporin. Benzoyl peroxide may be useful.
