Oh ouch...I’m sorry you’re still in pain. Did the extraction site on the right side seem to be better and now the pain is returning? Occasionally if the blood clot didn’t form correctly in the extraction site, you can develop what’s called a dry socket. You’ll know because it will continue to increase in intensity.
If it’s not a dry socket, but the tissue around the extraction site with a suture in it, that could be tender for a few days yet.
A dry socket would require a trip back to the dentist to have a special medicament applied to the area to help it heal. It’s only a tiny piece of gauze with a medication on it to make the socket feel better. Nothing to fear. I’ve had that happen to me.
