Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain after extraction of the is common, it will be there for another 1-2days and gradually reduces. But the pain will not be this much severe unless there has been a bone cutting during extraction. Nothing to be panic.
If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with analgesics like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase combination. If the pain doesnot subside in 2-3days, consult a oral physician.
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
