Virus: This is common after the physical trauma from the extractions. It's no one's fault and it doesn't happen to everyone either. It's a virus that is dormant in your body and the stress of the procedure ignites it. Ask for advice from the dentist/surgeon or pharmacist for topical or pill form relief. I hope you feel better soon.
