Suggest Treatment For Ear And Tooth Pain After Tooth Extraction

I recently had back tooth removed in the last 48 hours. I am still suffering with gum ear and tooth pain by teeth closest to the pulled. I also have swollen face and bruise in the area of where the tooth was pulled. The earache almost feels like sore throat sometimes pain radiates from ear to front bottom teeth. I went back to dentist and ruled out dry socket but pain medication is not helping heat does help some. Do you have any ideas on what is going on.

If it was a traumatic extraction, your experiencing post operative inflammation. Analgesics should help at this point, but do reshedule your.appointment to rule out any infection for which antibiotics would become necessary.
