So the normal post operative instructions would be to wait for 24hrs and then rinse gently with warm salt water for 15 minutes three times daily. Having pain now a week later is unusual. Please go back and have the surgeon examine you. You may have a dry socket which need s special care.

Since you were on antibiotics for the top teeth the lower should be areas should be good. You may have a dry socket or a bone fragment in the socket. Have an x-ray taken of all extraction sites and have the areas irrigated with warm saline solution.
