Hopefully didn’t jump the gun

Hello , just looking for some possible insight since it’s Sunday and the dentist is of course closed.so I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed 9 days ago. Up until day 6 I was eating all the right things(applesauce,soups,mashed potatoes etc.),doing rinses, and irrigating but because my jaw wasn’t in much pain anymore and I’ve lost a depressing amount of weight- 6’1 and 130lbs currently - I went ahead and ate some bertolli frozen dinner chicken Alfredo with mostly my front teeth on day 6. Irrigated afterward with no problems and teeth actually felt pretty good…saw(what I hope is) some granulation tissue on the left side.Fast forward to yesterday/ day 8 - I ate some food court teriyaki chicken and vegetables since it’s usually on the softer side and although it didn’t hurt to eat…my right side has this odd tight feeling and ever so slight pulses of pain…even though I irrigated multiple times and didn’t see much. My mouth also tastes kind of odd even after brushing. Could this be early signs of infection ? Should I use my waterpik on a low setting to see if maybe there’s something stuck there that the syringe didn’t get for some reason ? I was healing quite well so trying to make sure I didn’t fuck everything up just because I was feeling bad about my weight and wanted something a little more solid.
