Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It can be possible that now the tooth which is at the back side in mouth might has been infected and creating problem, or a root of the wisdom tooth might have left after extraction and now it is creating problem.
But these both can only he confirmed by an x - ray, so better that you visit your dentist and get an the x - ray done which will clear the condition.
Hope it will help you.
