Lower wisdom tooth extraction can give pain and discomfort for a week but if the pain persists more than a week then there are chances of the dry socket which is generally caused either by traumatic extraction or by post-extraction bleeding if still have stitches are not perfect.Go to your Dentist and get it cheked.

Pain after surgical extraction is quite common. Wait for two three days. If it doesn't subside then consult doctor again.
Till then try to maintain good oral hygiene.
Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day.
Use mouthwash.

Hello. Complete healing after surgery takes 10-15 days time whereas pain will subside on its own as healing takes place. Do not worry. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth gently after every meal. Maintain proper tongue hygiene as well.
