Hi,
No these symptoms are not at all normal.
visit your dentist immediately, there is a infection in the extraction site.
the sign and symptoms are of dry socket which means infection at the local extraction site.
you need antibiotics and analgesics with the local application of sedative dressing after proper cleaning of the socket.
you will be fine in a day with all this regimen.
wishing a speedy recovery.
Thanks,
dr.vishal Jain.
