A member asked:
I had an infected tooth removed but now i have a sore throat. are they related?

Could be: Yes they can be related, either from having dental procedure and the instrumentation used or from the infected secretions going down into your throat and setting up an infection.

It can be: An infected tooth and a sore throat after the removal of the tooth can be related. You need to consult with the dentist or surgeon who removed the tooth to see if any additional treatment or antibiotics is warranted.
