Hi lybrate-user jain, I would like to see the photographs of your father or else a video consultation could be better. Is your father having the same swelling previously before the extraction of the tooth? Or the swelling occurred after the extraction? Some times traumatic extractions might result in swelling and also due to injections I wanted to see the photographs if possible or else the patient on video call if possible for suggesting the best treatment.

Hi
it's not common to have pain after 2 weeks. Do rinses with warm salt water 2-3 times a day and consult your dentist if the pain persists.

It depends on ones healing process for few it takes few weeks to heal while for other few it take only a week. No need to worry but if pain is unbearable then you need to get it checked!

It seems your mother is having multiple carious teeth and the decay has lead the loss of tooth structure. Not necessary that all the damaged teeth have same amount of progress hence the treatment required for them may vary. Pls get an opg done (a panoramic xray) for better opinion.
You can use my code sg38f5 for further discussion and to upload the xray.
