It depends on how complicated the extractions were to perform. You may want to call your dentist/oral surgeon to let them know. They may want to see the area and possibly flush it out or clean it. It may be a simple case of food being stuck in the socket. Also, try to gently rinse the area and see if you can dislodge any food particles in there. Don't be too aggressive though.
