Removed Upper Wisdom Tooth. Have Ear Ache, Migraine, Swollen Face, Clicking Jaw. Right Medication?

Please help!!
I am a 27 year old who just had one upper wisdom tooth removed.
I had the surgery 9 days ago. I have been back to my dentist twice since the sugery. He tells me "You're fine" and hands me another script for pain killers. I am in agony even more than I was after the surgery. My jaw is clicking, I have a migrane, ear ache, swollen face, cannot fully open my mouth. I have never had a migrane or any other symptoms in my Life. I only had one wisdom tooth pulled because he said it was such a difficult extraction the other side would have to wait. Someone please help me I cannot deal with the pain and I'm concerned.
Thank you!

Hi, please do not get panic as it is a very simple problem. actually as the doctor is mentioning it was a difficult extraction he must have taken time in the extraction because of that the muscles of the jaw must have got stretched and even the joint of the jaws which is called as temporomandibular joint has been got tensed. So please do not take tension you just take some muscle relaxant twice a day with hot fermentation's over the joint area that is in front of the ear, it will get relieved.
