Tooth extracted on the 5th with bone graft.

Hi everyone. I just got my tooth extracted on the 5th(almost 10 days ago) with bone graft.  My gums are still swollen. I saw the dentist a week from my surgery and he told me to brush the area well and come back in a week. Is it normal for it to swell this much… doesn’t seem like it’s getting better. Also the roof of my mouth seems swollen as well. Thanks for any advice!

Comment#1: Maybe wormwood tea and chamomile would help, at lest this is what my doctor told me to do after the implant surgery. Rinse with this, mostly to try prevent any infection.
