hellooo...read thru ur query....pain in the cheek is obvious after extraction of teeth...but dont worry...it will be healing..but continue with antibiotics as prescribed by the dentist...also do take painkiller(diclofenac) whenever pain is there..also try to have soft diet...try not to bite heavily on that extracted areas(i kno its difficult but u try maximum not to bite much)for a week..and do salt water gargle as many times as possible (minimum 2 times).while spitting dont spit with too much force..just be soft spitting...also while brushing dont touch the areas with toothbrush or fingers..and tongue...follow this for a week..and still if pain persists just go and meet ur dentist...(i feel if u follow this strictly pain will be relieved).be cool and calm...stress will increase pain..hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!
