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.

Visit your surgeon: Having a fever is always something to be concerned about after any surgery. Call your surgeon for post-op visit and treatment.
