I had teeth extracted and immediate dentures put in about 2 weeks ago. I've been gargling with warm water with salt to help with gum swelling and sore spots. The dentures feel very strange in my mouth, but I expected this. One thing I am finding uncomfortable is the thickness of the palate. It feels like my tongue has no room to move. Will I get used to this, and also having dentures in my mouth.

It takes about a month to get accustomed to dentures. You can always contact the dentist if you have questions.
Check back with your dentist or whoever made your dentures to do a quick check that you are not having any swelling or starting an infection. They can also give you hints and tips to smooth out the adjustment period!
I don't think so. Salt water rinses are a commonly suggested home treatment for yeast infections. It would be best to contact a doctor though and get the proper treatment so that you get it under control as soon as possible.
Good luck!
