Unlikely: It may be a coincidence. Try to reduce the temperate in you bedroom. Reduce the amount of covers and try using a fan.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Question 2

i recently had my wisdom teeth extracted. now im on my fifth day  and im still having pain on the side of the surgery and having fever.

Accepted Answer

See surgeon. : Since your are experiencing symptoms several days following your extractions, call your surgeon. He may want you to come in for an post/op evaluation, possible infection or dry socket. He may simply call some medication into the pharmacy. Don't hesitate.

Question 3

is it normal to experience fever, aches, and a general feeling of being unwell 2 days after having 4 wisdom teeth extracted. done under a general. ?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Fever and aches are usually not associated with wisdom tooth extraction. You may have an infection which may or may not be related to the extractions. Have your oral surgeon take a look and if not related, see your physician.

Question 4

18 teeth extracted one week ago gums are swollen sires from dentures ib prophen don't work,  fever and sore throat started today. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See you dentist: Hi Billy!  Your denture should start feeling better after a week or so.  It's not uncommon for a denture to be adjusted multiple times after you have had your teeth out.  The bone and gum tissue will eventually heal and shrink.  At this point you will need to relign the denture so it fits your mouth properly.  Usually a few months after receiving the denture.  Best of luck!

Question 5

i have a salty tasting discharge after upper molar tooth extraction.  the extraction was 3 days ago.  no pain or fever.

Accepted Answer

Post op: You should call the dentist who extracted the tooth to have that area re-evaluated to make sure everything is healing properly and there are no other problems with adjacent teeth. This is something that cannot be done over the internet.

Question 6

help docs! i had a wisdom tooth extraction two days ago i'm running a low fever is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Fever after extracti: Low grade fever less than 100.3 not uncommon.  Higher than that i'd call your doctor.  Ext cause inflammation throughout your system.

Question 7

i have a fever 9 days after tooth extraction. what can i take for this?

Accepted Answer

Call the dentist: Who extracted the tooth. You should be seen to rule out an infection related to the extraction. Your dentist can then advise you what to take.

Question 8

dear dr
why is my brother sweating so much after his tooth extraction ? ps: he took anasthetic injsctions profen 200mg,2 panadol (acetaminophen) 500mg,antibiotic inj

Accepted Answer

Sweating: Profuse sweating can be a sign of infection especially if fever or chills are present. Antiinflammatory medications like ibuprofen and medications like tylenol (acetaminophen) can also cause sweating. I recommend that you report the symptoms to the dentist or oral surgeon who performed the extraction.

Question 9

i'm 10 days post tooth extraction and am having low fevers and throat pain. 
could this be related. where i had the extraction is not returning calls?

Accepted Answer

Depends on: local findings at extraction site, degree of fever, and other symptoms.  If you have high fever, difficulty swallowing or opening your mouth, or loss of voice, you should go to ED.

Question 10

2days after tooth extraction, the socket had yellowish slough on top, i cleaned with povidone and normal saline and it goes off. i found a small empty hole there. now, i'm suffering neck pain when swallow but no fever/sorethroat.what should i do next?

Accepted Answer

See: Please consult with the dentist who actually extracted your tooth. It is his/her responsibility for post op evaluation and aftercare until healing is adequate.
