Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
It is not a common phenomenon to see burning sensation post wisdom teeth extraction.However there could be an infection developed in relation to the extracted socket or mild to moderate nerve injury,which can be attributed to such symptoms.
Therefore it would be nice if you can revisit your dentist once and get the healing socket examined.
Meanwhile please do warm saline rinses twice daily preferably after food.This should help.Let me know for further doubts.
Thanks.
Take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the inflamatory response to the bone cutting or trauma caused to the soft tissues. The pain in the temporal region can be secondary to protective co contraction of the temporalis muscle.
Nothing to be panic, it will come down in 3days. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) and analgesics like diclofenac 50mg with serratiopeptidase. Do saline gargling.
The burning sensation can be because of the aphthous ulcers that occurs following surgical removal of the tooth. If it is aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
