After an extraction, one should eat softer foods and avoid anything particularly hot or spicy. Most importantly, it is important to keep the area clean as advised by one's doctor after the procedure.
Anything usually. Just don't lose the blood clot or irritate it or get food stuck in it. Your dentist should have advised you specifically.
There are many factors to consider, but in general, this soon after an extraction, it is best to stick with softer foods and avoid anything hard or with a shell, such as nuts and popcorn for a couple of weeks.
Yes, you can eat 3 days after a tooth extraction, but I recommend to avoid the area of the extraction and also to rinse out with warm salt water after eating to keep it clean. Once a membrane forms over the extraction socket, you can eat in that area.
