If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Creve Coeur, IL fire claims get partially denied.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
Board-up, tarping, and extraction dispatched the same day to stop a Creve Coeur loss from spreading further.
