Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain could be because of the wound created during extraction. Nothing to be panic. PERCOCET is a combination of paracetamol and oxycodone. It works nicely, you can take it. But along with this you have to take a course of antibiotics like penicillin. Do saline gargling. If the pain does not subside consult your dentist or oral physician.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
