How Can Severe Pain In The Gums After Tooth Extraction Be Treated?

I had a molar extracted 4 days ago. I do not have a "dry socket" as my dentist assured me. However I am experiencing intense pain both upper and lower teeth on the left side where the tooth was extracted. It radiates to my ear and down my throat. I have no signs of infection. The extraction was difficult though. The root of the tooth was broken and partially attached to the bone. How long is the pain likely to last and what can I do about it?

Continue with the regular dose of analgesics provided by the doctor. As you had a traumatic extraction mentioned above (tooth attached to bone, also broken root) this may take some days for the body to bring back the tissues to normal condition. The pain will gradually reduce.
