Thanks for sharing Xray!
Pain in upper jaw can be due to various reasons including recent cold ,radiating ear pain, pain due to TMJ joint due to grinding and so on.
Some pain is normal after removal of teeth ,but if pain is increasing or not settling ,there might be infection of the extraction socket which will need addressing!
If not ,other causes of pain have to be ruled out ,hope that helps.

Sometimes it takes time for the socket to heal. Hope you didnt spit after the procedure for 24 hours and also if it took a long time for extraction then it will take some days for the socket to heal. Mild discomfort is ok. It happens after extraction for a few days. If it doesnt go away then please get reviewed.
Next Steps
Continue salt- lukewarm water gargles. Hit compressions on the cheek region . Do not try to chevk the area with your tongue or any other object. Try to limit your mouth opening for upto 3 fingers.
