Ear pain: This may be normal referred pain - dental pain being felt near the ear. You may want someone to take a look and make sure you don't have an infection though. You can take Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for the pain.

Dry socket: Most likely cause - dry socket. Less likely - TMJ probem after surgery. See oral surgeon - if dry socket, easy to treat with packing of the socket.

Not uncommon: The removal of wisdom teeth is an invasive surgical procedure and moderate to severe pain is not uncommon. Use NSAIDs or Tylenol (acetaminophen) OTC. For severe pain, stronger pain medication should be given. Call your dentist or OS for phone Rx.
