WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION PAIN & DRY SOCKETS

I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted this past Wednesday July 8th, two at the top and one at the bottom left. For me it was a very unpleasant experience especially the first day. I was prescribed an antibiotic to prevent infection and vicodin for the pain. I was in alot of discomfort so I followed instructions and began to take 1-2 of the vicodin every 4 hours but unfortunately my body didn't take well to it and i ended up throwing up the same day of the surgery. So instead I replaced advil for my pain reliever and discontinued use of the vicodin and that did the trick and I haven't thrown up since. But I have strong concerns and worry that because I threw up only a few hours after the oral surgery that there is a high chance I might have formed dry socket(s). I am not experiencing extreme pain like others I have read about and researched on dry socket but I am in a lot of discomfort. How do I know for sure whether I have dry socket(s)?!, I am worried I might because I threw up only a few hours after the surgery and that may have increased the chances that the blood clots were dislodged. I have an appointment this coming Wednesday with my oral surgeon to follow up on the healing, but If I suspect dry socket should I call in to see my surgeon sooner? And also I have another question about the swelling of my left cheek, are there any specific methods or ways to help decrease the swollen areas a.s.a.p besides the common ice method?
