Default Implant and extraction discharge

I had an upper implant and an extraction of the tooth next to the implant space that had a peridontal pocket infection so two teeth involved here). It's 10 days on and I am still getting a yellowy discharge from (I think) the extraction socket and not the new implant next to it. This tastes sour and is constant and profuse. I'm on antibiotics and am rinsing and cleansing the area carefully. I have no pain whatsoever apart from a little gum tenderness. I have faith in my dentist who thinks it will settle but to have this constant drip is a little unnerving.
Does anyone know what this constant seepage could be? I'm assuming it's an infection but it doesn't really have all the usual hallmarks.
Any help would be appreciated especially if from a dentist...
