Default 3 Extraction Woes... any help?

Thursday I had a wisdom and molar(side by side) pulled and on the opposite side another molar extracted. All are upper. The two are healing fine but the one by itself is giving me trouble. The dentist had to use some lazer to break it into 3 pieces to get it out and cut my outer gumline up to my cheek. I had to have 2 stitches.
Now I cannot smile or talk for a long time with out a lot of pain and swelling on that side. Also, I have been eating nothing but soup because nothing can touch the area.
Anyone ever had anything near this happen and have any suggestions on how to get it to heal faster besides saltwater swishes and keeping my mouth clean. I have followed the directions to the "T" because I have had dry socket before and that is not fun.

Thanks ahead of time
