Pain 5 weeks after extraction?

[jsabz]

I thought I healed well as I didn't have much problems with the extraction.

Now it's five weeks and the area is painful top tooth extraction and the upper mandible area is painful really.
I just took paracetamol and it's not going away.
I think I had food in there and I rinsed now it should be gone but still I have pain.

I just remembered that yesterday I ate a sharp cracker and it went there and I had pain but I didn't think much about it.

Could it be that?
Tomorrow I will call the dentist, of course this is just before the weekend.

I am afraid of course of infection and of not being able to control pain tonight

An infection seems unlikely this long after an extraction... Please let us know what your dentist says
