Wisdom teeth extraction question?

[chelcito]

so I just got all 4 wisdom teeth removed at 10am on the 30th (yesterday or today depending on what you'd call it lol)... and right now I'm having trouble sleeping because i have this phlegm in my throat that keeps trying to come up, but it's not coming up unless I "pull it up" to spit it out , which means i'd be "sucking" just in order to get it out of my throat. Wouldn't that cause like a dry socket if I did? If so... how do I get it to go away or come out w/o hurting myself
