See your dentist: It isn't unusual to be sore but return to your dentist to reevaluate the area. You may need to be on antibiotics

See your dentist: for post-op evaluation. The a stiff, sore jaw and bone tender, this should wear off within 7 to 10 days. You should report any pain or any other unusual symptoms to your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.

Wisdom tooth healing: there will be some irritation during healing but if you are concerned then the best thing to,do is call the extracting dentist about this. Continue to keep the healing site as clean and free of debris as possible. Rinse with warm salt water or mouthwash as directed at the time of your extraction.

Healing: Seems like a normal healing process, but if the discomfort continues I would see the dentist/oral surgeon. Hard to say without being the one who took out your teeth and knowing your complete health history

Re-evaluation: Without knowing the difficulty of the extraction and how extensive the surgery might have been, your best bet is to be re-evaluated by the surgeon who extracted the tooth. Do NSAID's help? If so, you're probably still a bit inflamed.
