What Causes Pain On Right Side Of Face Post Dental Procedure?

I am having much pain in the right side of my face since having teeth pulled. The pain is such that it hurts to touch my face just below my right nostril & out in my face. Sometimes it hurts when I talk or when I eat. Can U tell what I can do to get relief?
THANK YOU

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the dry socket or dislodged blood clot in the socket following extraction leading to infection of the bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You can get a medicated dressing containing metronidazole and eugenol. Do saline gargling. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
