If you have pain like sore throat that worsened it could also be unrelated to the extraction or may be related. If it is troubling you, please visit your dentist or surgeon who did the procedure to get assessed.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist. And use warm salt water gargle frequently and it will give some relief.

Pain in the throat is normal after wisdom tooth extraction. However pain usually comes down in a few days. You can get a check up from your dentist to rule out any problem
