hanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the jaw, head and eye after extraction could be because of any sharp bony margin which was not smoothened after removing the tooth. The numbness could be because of the injury to the inferior alveolar nerve while removing the tooth, even this can result in numbness, pain in other areas. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. if ther is a sharp bony margins get it smoothened under local anesthesia. If there is nerve injury, then take nerve regenerating drugs like capsule neurobion, once daily for 1 month. the numbness might be there for days to week.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
