Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Pain and swelling are most common after wisdom tooth extarction and they subside after sometimes, according to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you might have some trauma to the nerve at the time of extraction.
I would suggest you to take multivitamin suplements for 15 days.
Take lukewarm saline rinses.
Take antiseptic mouthwash gragles.
Avoid smoking and consumption of hot and spicy food stuffs.
If the symptoms persists or worsen then you have to visit to the concerned Dentist and get the checkup done.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain and nerve sensation is due to the traumatic extraction which you had undergone.
Bleeding from the extraction socket is due to unhealed socket ,and dry socket has developed at the site of tooth extraction.
Irrigate the socket with betadine and curettage has to be done.
Apply eugenol,betadine and lignocaine solution at the extraction socket to promote wound healing.
Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.
Complete course of amoxycillin as well as analgesics has to be administered.
Take care.
