Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain after extraction of wisdom tooth and if the extraction site is healing well then it can be most probably due to the tooth adjacent to wisdom tooth site which can be decayed proximally..

Another cause can be Dry socket formation that is unhealed extraction socket due to loss of blood clot..

I would suggest you to get the x ray of the extraction site as well as the area next to it done to rule out the exact cause of pain..

As of now you can take painkillers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen for moderate pain and Tramadol or Ketorolac for severe pain..
Do warm saline gargles..
Do cool compresses over the cheek..

Hope this information helps..

Regards..
