Hi, thanks for consulting HCM. Pain after wisdom tooth extraction can persist from a few days till up to a month.hope your extraction was atraumatic and no root fragments left out. If u had to open your mouth for too long your jaw joint must have got a bit stressed which can cause ear pain like symptoms. Limit your mouth opening for a few days and consume soft diet.also suggest you rule out ear infection. If pain persists visit a dentist for a thorough examination.get we'll soon
