Pain may be occur due to nerve compression after extraction or may be due fractured bone around the socket. You should consult a dentist. He/she will do xray and will decide what to do.

Greetings The pain after extraction of impacted wisdom teeth could be because of many reasons. To name a few:- 1. Broken tooth/root fragment inside the jaw 2. Fractured bone piece near around the socket etc My advice would be to consult a dentist for the same. They might run few diagnostic xrays to confirm the reason for the persistent pain.
