Default Ache after bridge(s)

Hi to all as this is my first post to this (very helping) forum.

I have just finished bridge work for 15 teeth in the lower jaw in the following configuration (from left to right):
8 - My tooth :-)
Bridge 1:
7 - Vital, but filled
6 - Missing
5 - Vital, but filled
4 - Vital
3 - Non Vital

Bridge 2 (tooth were OK, but for aesthetic purposes decided so):
2 - Vital
1 - Vital
1 - Vital
2 - Vital

Bridge 3:
3 - Non vital with screw (forgive the term, but I think you'll understand)
4 - Missing
5 - Vital
6 - Missing
7 - Missing
8 - Non vital with screw

The bridge work was finished Last Saturday.
Today is Friday and is almost one week from it.
I have been having tooth ache, gum ache, ache since.
I have been using OKI for pain relief, basically half a dosage(child dosage) every 8 hrs or so, and the pain goes away, but it still returns in different places.

My worries are simple:
How long should I wait for everything to settle down in a normal scenario?
Should I continue taking OKI?
Should I use anything for gums or teeth?

Thanks in Advance!
