I Got My Wisdom Teeth Out On Friday And It

I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday and it is now Wednesday. I took my pain killers and I started to feel okay around Monday and yesterday I felt the best so I decided to go to school but today I just wanted to burst into tears around 9:00am because the pain was really bad for some reason and I began getting a headache and my upper gums were really, really sore.
I looked on websites and such and apparently it s not normal to have pain after 3 days and even breathing in air sometimes hurts..
It gets worse at night though. I don t know if I have dry socket or an infection but I know this isn t normal. I don t know whether to tell what is wrong, obviously.. But I was wondering if I should go to the surgeon to do a check up?

Also~~ I am swishing using this mouthwash the surgeon prescribed me and a syringe and I started using it I think the 2nd or 3rd day.. And my wisdom teeth were coming in straight so it wasn t a difficult operation.
