Hi shyvon,
If that tooth had a post in it, then it also had been root canaled. What this means is that the tooth and the bone surrounding the tooth was diseased. This will always make the healing from the extraction more complicated. Also that area of bone is very thin and in all probability, the front portion, if not the back portion, has been lost to the long standing infection from that root canaled tooth.
It will take weeks for this to calm down. It is important that you keep the area very clean with warm salt water rinses. NO mouthwash because the chemicals will cause further irritation and can slow down the healing process.
Keep us posted on how things are going.

I have to go back Thursday again see if it's healed bet the roof of my mouth by the extraction is sore and feels swollen but solid and I have now come down with what feels like a cold sinuses aching and headaches the dentist never mentioned an infection
