sickofit,
Did you see an oral surgeon for the removal of the root tip or a general dentist?
You can develop an infection from the removal of the root tip especially if there was contact with the wisdom tooth during the procedure. It could feel similar to a dry socket or it could just swell up. However, there is no way to know for sure if it will happen or not.
Depending on where the wisdom tooth is located, if it is impacted, if it laying horizontally, etc., would determine whether it needs to be removed or not.
