I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday. It's now saturday and I noticed on Thursday that my bottom right socket is red, not to red but its red and its the only area that hurts. Is this normal? or do I have an infection? my dentist told me to go in on Monday if it still hurts. I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday.

would I know if there is an infection? what would my gum(s) look like? I do not have a fever. - I don't think I have a dry socket, I was VERY careful not to create any suction in my mouth in the first 48 hrs.
isn't a funny smell or taste in my mouth either. On monday I will just go into my dentist and pick up a perscription just in case. because that socket isnt swollen at all, its just a little red.
