Red lump in extraction socket

[MissMae]

Hello, I recently had 2 upper molars pulled on each side I believe the one I’m referring to is 29. Besides the sinus cavity being exposed which hasn’t closed now all of a sudden I can feel this bulging fleshy lump coming from the hole. Which happened suddenly because it was not this way a couple days ago. It’s bright red and doesn’t hurt really just feels soft and is darkish red. I tried taking a photo but what could this be? I can’t be seen until after the holiday unfortunately. I’m freaking out a bit.

Hard to be certain from that photo but it's probably the lining of the sinus. It'll be fine, just be a bit careful of it when eating and DON'T BLOW YOUR NOSE for a few days.

Thank you, I have been not using straws or blowing my nose since the extraction, but I forgot I had a otoscope for my son so I took a look last night because now it is starting to have a funny taste and it looks like either pus or maybe it’s mucous from my sinuses but I woke up with an awful sinus headache. I can do a telehealth with my dental insurance but so maybe I should do that for antibiotics?

Sorry it’s pretty gross looking

That looks more like granulation tissue. Antibiotics are probably not needed but it wouldn't hurt to check with your dentist again.
