Question 1

iv just had 2 tooth extractions, now i'm suffering from a sore throat, can this be due to tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If the tooth or gum was infected prior to extraction, it is possible that the infection could have spread. Best to boost your immune system with lots of antioxidants and fluids. See your dentist for follow up care. An antibiotic may be necessary.

Question 2

i had a  tooth  extraction 5 days ago. now i have a tempreture and sore throat and a cough. can you help?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not: most likely, your tooth extraction from 5 days ago is NOT related to your current symptoms. After 5 days, tooth extraction area may be tender but not swollen or painful..if it is, SEE YOUR DENTIST! Stay well!

Question 3

sore throat after extraction of tooth from palette under general anaesthetic?

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: This is not an uncommon symptom after having general anesthesia.  If the problem persists, i would see the dentist/oral surgeon who removed the tooth.

Question 4

i just got tooth extraction that took 30 mnts which dentist broke it to be able to pull it, now i'm felling like im coming with sore throat???

Accepted Answer

Sore extraction: It is not uncommon to have a slight sore throat or pain when swallowing after surgery. As the muscles near the extraction site might get swollen, therefore trying to swallow can then be painful and sore. It should get better in a few days.nonprescription throat lozenges and pain relievers can help with this.

Question 5

sinus cavity has been exposed from tooth extraction.  high fever for 5 days, sore throat.

Accepted Answer

High fever: With an exposed sinus cavity and a high fever, i would pay an immediate visit to the er for an evaluation and further treatment.

Question 6

i just had a tooth extraction. i am finding i am waking up with dry mouth (daily) and a sore throat. is this a normal response from my body,?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't be: May be that you are mouth breathing at night, could be that you coincidentally ended up with a sore throat. You did not mention if is was a wisdom tooth, if you were infected, or if you are on antibiotics or other meds, so that should be considered, too.

Question 7

i am experiencing cheek swelling & a sore throat. i recently got a wisdom tooth extraction on the left side. i see black stuff on the extraction site.

Accepted Answer

Swelling: If the swelling is on the same side as the recent surgery, they may be associated.  Please contact the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that treated you and ask for a post-surgical reevaluation.

Question 8

i did tooth extraction 2days ago. now, i'm experiencing pain over my neck only when i swallow. it's not seem like sore throat but more like muscle pain.is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal: First, what you describe is definitely not normal if related to the extraction. Unfortunately we can't give you more information over the internet. This requires a one on one clinical exam. The sore throat/muscle pain you are experiencing may or may not be related to the extraction. You should see your dentist as soon as possible for an evaluation. If this is an infection it could be serious.

Question 9

how typical is it to get a stuffy nose and a sore throat after wisdom teeth extraction?

Accepted Answer

No: The two things are probably unrelated. Sounds like your just getting a cold. If your symptoms worsen consult with your dentist and medical doctor.

Question 10
