Contact dentist: You really need to contact the dentist who did the procedure so they can write a prescription for something stronger.

Stronger pain med: You may need either a stronger pain med such as Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) or antibiotics or both. However, there is a chance that you have a dry socket. I would advise obtaining a stronger pain med 1st, then evaluating your condition after.
