Could be abscess: Check with your dentist could be abscess or just abnormal healing so let him evaluate to determine course of action

Bubble over socket: Check back with your surgeon so he can examine the extraction site.

Bubble: Bubble is not a diagnosis. The lesion will have to be physically examined, diagnosed, and then (if necessary) treatment planned. Please see the Dentist or Specialist Oral Surgeon to reexamine the extraction site. He/she, knowing your pre`extraction circumstance, are better positioned to answer your specific question.
