Yes: Dental treatment should relieve pain within a reasonable period of time. If not, go back for reevaluation.

Lingering pain: Dental pain should diminish after treatment not keep lingering after a while. I would return for evaluation as something else may be necessary, possibly a more aggressive approach.
