Possible Infection ?: Fever is usually not a normal part of extraction recovery. You may have an infection. Call your oral surgeon for a follow up.

Tooth extraction: is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. It is normal to have slight fever. Pain and swelling following surgery is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery. After that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Get well soon.
