Should i seek emergency treatment for fever, chills and malaise after root canal retreat despite strong antibiotics?

Yes!: If the dental procedure is your only complaint and no viral symptoms the short answer is "Yes"! Dental procedures can cause bacteremia and occasionally endocarditis. It does warrant evaluation. Wish you well!

Absolutely: The strong antibiotics may not be working on the bacterial infection. In addition, your symptoms may be caused by something unrelated.

YES !: Root canal treatment is intended to eradicate an infection locally found in your tooth. At times the infection can spread through your system. When this occurs your body will display the symptoms you are describing. It is best to call your treating DDS to evaluate your condition and treat accordingly. Give them a call today, good luck and feel better.
