Sorry : Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Sometimes you do everything right and you can still have a bad result. It sounds like you are following the right course. Sometimes when I have an aggressive bacteria i look at teeth and or periodontal disease to be the causative agent. Also consider blood test. When was your last physical? Hang in there it will get better.

Infection: If he didn't give you a prescription for a rinse, try warm saltwater, 1tsp salt with an 8oz cup of warm water, but you may need to see an oral surgeon for an evaluation. Go immediately.

Alveolar osteitis: Even though alveolar osteitis is a rare situation when placing bone graft after surgical extraction , but sometimes it happened especially if the bone placed is synthetic bone .You are giving the symptoms of a dry socket .Please get evaluated by an oral surgeon .May be removing the graft and establishing a new clot will help.You have been taking antibiotics for so long and it is not working.
