Default In terrible pain after extraction with sinus perforation

Hi, I found this forum tonite, my third sleepless nite after a tooth extraction. What happened was I had a root canal on tooth 15, my upper left molar and it never felt right, which led to an extraction where the surgeon said that tooth never felt right because there was a hole in the sinuses.. he pulled the tooth and put in some packing and sent me home. Later the next day, I could tell I had opened the hole as all I could do was suck air.. we rushed over and the surgeon then stitched my gum flap over my sinus hole. Now, two nites later, I am in horrific pain. My cheeks are so swollen, ( I am on two antibiotics) and I can't sleep or function at all. I keep taking narcotics, which is barely helping honestly. Is this still normal healing time or is this the sign of a bigger problem? I don't know what to do and I'm so scared, please tell me your opinions, thanks so much
