How common is it to develop tonsillitis after having teeth extracted?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
No: After extraction of teeth removal, one may experience pain and swelling, which usually resolves in a few days.

No: Not in my experience. Either it is unrelated or you are merely sore in that general area if the teeth being removed were way back in your mouth near your tonsils.

Uncommon: These are unrelated conditions. It's just bad luck that you caught this bug right as you were recovering from your infection.

Not related: See your physician to check your tonsils, and your dentist to check your teeth, but these are two unrelated conditions.
