Tooth extraction. Care tips and food to eat?

Anonymous
I just got my upper left molar extracted. Now I'm hungry from not eating for two days. Do I remove the gauze in order to eat because I just took it out and my mouth was filled with the taste of blood, ICK. Also, should I rinse my mouth with salt water? The dental assistant said it helps the healing etc but if I don't it's fine too because the body usually heal it itself. I also read that swishing salt water orjust rinse my mouth that it will affect the clotting process. What to do when eating and should I rinse my mouth now or tomorrow with the salt water? Or what?

Also I was given some antibiotics since that tooth was infected so I'm supposed to take one every six hours should I take one now?
