You need to be patient because what you are experiencing is called as paraesthesia and is not an uncommon sequel of third molar extraction of the lower jaw.
I guess you had posted your query sometime back also on Practo and the dentist might have told you that the X-ray picture that you have posted is not very clear. As you can see yourself the roots of that tooth are quite curved more than the curvature of other teeth and they are very close to the nerve canal. This is an Anatomical condition over which neither the patient nor the dentist has any control, and it also does not change the treatment plan.
All you need to understand about paraesthesia is that it is a temporary sensation because of a partial injury to the nerve but it will definitely heal back although because nerve is a slow healing tissue this healing period is variable amongst patients and can vary from a few days to a few weeks.
This paraesthesia does not lead to a loss of any function like speaking or chewing and is only a sensation that keeps troubling you as a distraction. You can take supplements like neurobion but the actual healing will depend upon the nerve itself and is not dependent upon the medications as such.
Without even knowing the dentist who performed the procedure, all I can say is that this is not because of negligence or incompetency of the operating surgeon but is because of the anatomical position of your own tooth in proximity to your own nerve.
Doctors are also humans and they cannot change such factors.
Have patience.... it will be absolutely fine....
Regards.
