Need drainage!: You likely have a dry socket that needs drainage by your dentist. Consider going to dentist sooner for quicker relief.

See below: Pain 5 days after having a wisdom tooth is extracted because of infection may be due to persistence of infection or possibly alveolar osteitis(dry socket). Normally a blood clot forms in the socket that remains when a tooth is extracted. If the blood clot dislodges the underlying bone and nerves are exposed causing pain and inflammation.

Post surg infection: It could be an unresolved infection from that tooth, a problem with the adjacent tooth, dry socket, the antibiotics could not be effective, etc. I suggest you see your own dentist sooner! If it's really painful and your own dentist can't see you right away, consider seeing another Oral Surgeon.

Post-op infection: You should see your dentist if you have signs of infection after the procedure. Common signs are: fever, yellow discharge from the socket, and persistent pain and swelling.
