Possible dry socket?

I had a broken tooth removed on Friday. It was a simple extraction and all seemed well afterwards. Yesterday (Sunday) I could feel a small lump on the side of the gum of the extracted tooth which hurt slightly when touched. Today I woke up and couldn't speak as I felt a strong stinging sensation when I moved my mouth. I rubbed some bonjela (cream for toothache and ulcers) onto the gum and it soothed it instantly. Today my friend has looked into my mouth and said there is something round and white on my gum along the edge and on the inside where the blood clot was. So I looked it up and google came up with dry socket-only isn't that supposed to be extremely painful? I mean, this hurts but I've had worse and surely dry socket pain wouldn't just go with some mild antiseptic cream? It really does feel similar to an ulcer/canker sore pain though. Thank you for all replies!
