See whether the tooth no.7 which is just in front of lower wisdom tooth is it painful on biting or sensitive to hot and cold.There is caries on distal side of it.If so it needs to be restored or root canal rx.Discomfort and pain can be due to ent problem also for which you need a ENT consult.Also if TMJ or iatrogenic trauma while extraction might cause the discomfort but most unlikely after so long.
Take:-
Tab Zerodol SP twice daily for 5days after meals
Warm saline rinses between meals
Apply Thermoseal repair toothpaste for 15 minutes and rinse with plain water twice daily for a month
Hot towel fomintation in TMJ area thrice daily for 15 days
