Yes: Flu-like symptoms tend to be kinda vague generally sick feelings. If you have an infection anywhere in your body, especially somewhere close to your neck where there are a lot of lymph nodes to get tender, it can definitely cause you to feel sick. See your dentist to get the wisdom teeth taken care of.

Symptoms: Yes, but there is a difference. Flu caused by virus, and infection is self limiting. Abscess caused by bacteria and will not heal, in fact will continue to infect other organ systems. Please see a Dentist.
