I had a lower molar removed on Sunday by the emergency dentist. He had difficulty getting it out as it was quite strong despite being rotten on one side but eventually he managed it and it came out whole. It didn't hurt much on Sunday, hurt a bit yesterday and I took paracetemol and rinsed with salt water but today my face is slightly swollen and it's hurting. It's not as painful as the toothache but feels very bruised and I can't smile or say certain words properly. I'm also 31 weeks pregnant so could really do without this at th moment.

Tooth extraction is it meant to hurt this much 2 days after the extraction?
