It seems like there is lots of inflammation present and since the pain is getting worse, this is an indication of a dry socket.
Dry sockets usually appear after 4 to 5 days.
It is also more common in the bottom jaw.
I woulf suggest going back to the treating dentist/surgeon so that the socket can be rinsed out and treated.
