What could cause recurrence of toothache after undergoing tooth extraction?

Hello doctor,

I need someone who speaks English. I am out of the country and have had difficulty explaining to every dentist what I have been to and what is going on. It started two weeks ago when I felt a sharp pain in the lower right of my jaw. The lower of my jaw continued to hurt and felt sore for a few days. I was not eating anything. It was hard at the time. The pain moved up into my back lower molars. I could still feel the pain in the bottom of my jaw. The tooth pain starts moving all over the right side of my mouth up and down. I saw several dentists, and they all said I did not have a cavity and nothing was wrong with my teeth. Finally one night, I went to another dentist because the pain was so unbearable. The pain was really bad in one specific tooth that night. It hurt when the dentist lightly tapped the tooth. He told me I had an infection and the tooth needed to be removed. He extracted the tooth. This was four days ago. The pain is coming back again just as before. All over the right side of my mouth. Any time I eat, even soft foods, or drink liquid I feel a very sharp pain down from my teeth roots to the bottom of my jaw. I have been on two rounds of antibiotics, Amoxicillin for three days, and now Metronidazole for one day. Nothing seems to be working. The pain is moving to other teeth. Please tell me what is going on.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

It was not a wisdom tooth, and I had those removed years ago. It is the second to last molar on the right side of my mouth. I attached the X-ray but I am not sure they took it of the correct tooth. When the tooth was pulled out it did not look like anything was wrong with it. I attached that photo as well.

Thank you.
