Bone infections: Bone infections do occur before and after extractions. Are you on antibiotics? You may need to be. Regarding dental implants, they cannot be placed into infected tissue. It will have to wait until all infection is gone and the tissue heals. Call your dentist for further instructions.

See your dentist : Yes it is an intermittent pains that come and go. There are risks associated with teeth removal like with any other surgery. The dry socket is the most common complication that characterized by dull, aching pain and a bad smell or taste coming from the empty tooth socket. See your dentist for post-op evaluation and dry socket treatment if needed.
