Hello,
I suspect you have a complication with healing and infection may be present. Please contact your dentist immediately. Have you had a follow up visit? Are you taking any antibiotics? You most likely will need to be placed on an antibiotic. You may take some anti-inflammatory medication to try and reduce discomfort such as Tylenol or Motrin. Practice good daily dental care and be sure to follow all directions provided by your dentist.
A respiratory or sinus condition could affect your healing ability as well. Do you often have seasonal allergies?

Thank you for your inquiry.
