Thank you.
Brief Answer:
It has no relation with extraction
Detailed Answer:
hi
thanks for writing in.
Since extraction was done in upper jaw & itching is occuring in lower jaw, it has no relation to the dental procedure. However possibilities of allergies to some medicine or caries in that tooth are to be considered. If it doesn't get better soon in the a day or two, it is wise to consult your dentist.
