PO pain: If you are sure the tooth was the problem then it is probably sinus. If it was not that tooth, it could be another or non dental pain

Pain management: Ibuprofen may help dull the pain (follow package directions exactly), but at 3 weeks you should no longer be in pain. Return to the Dentist who did your surgery. If he/she can't help, see a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
