My wisdom tooth filling is hurting. Is it normal after 5 days? What should I do?

Fillings don't hurt.They have no nerves. It is likely that your tooth hurts because you have a high spot on the filling or the decay in the tooth was very deep.
That "pain" could be what clinicians call with in normal limits. The only way to Know is call your treating dentist and ask the staff, who should be able to get you to the dentist for a post op re-evaluation if needed.
No, it is not normal. You must visit your dentist office.
Go back to your dentist for evaluation. It is not uncommon for a filling in the back tooth to require adjustment once the anesthesia has worn off.
