It would be prudent to contact your dentist to ascertain if you need to be examined. If the cavities are not bleeding and there is no discharge, you may just need to give it some time. Wish you good health!

Normal. You are only part way through your healing process. Should flatten out in time. The Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that did your extractions is responsible for your post-treatment care. Call. You're entitled to an answer unique to your surgical history.
