Yes: Some procedures can cause pain and swelling and for some people longer than others. Be patient and you will heal just fine.

Wait: Depending on how long ago that molar was extracted, it could be normal from the socket healing specially if it was a traumatic (difficult) extraction. But if you still in pain a week to 10 days down the road with no signs of infection or dry socket, then you probably need to seek a second opinion to make sure no damage happened to surrounding structure around the extraction site or other reasons.

Remain deep infect : My experience: there is less pain after an extraction and a bone graft then just an extraction. There could be incomplete removal of the tooth infection and now with the bone graft on top of it, the infection would be difficult to access. Likewise you may have more than one tooth giving you discomfort that still needs care. If an antibiotic doesn't help and no other issues, redo the graft!
