I has a surgical bone removal third molar extraction, I am on keteol dt or diclomol for every 4 hours as the pain is bad. I am on the 6th day after the major surgery but the pain is not subsiding. My dentist said I would take some time to heal. Is it normal? They checked and said no dry socket. What pain killer should I use? How long I takes to get back to normal? I am also taking hifenac Mr. twice a day.

Yes it is normal. Try flexon-MR thrice daily for pain and lots of warm saline rinses.
