My daughter had a molar extracted today, and now has a 101.2 fever. it is too late to call dentist. i gave her tylenol 3, should she be ok?

Be vigilant: A fever is a sign of things not normal and some dental infections can be serious to life-threatening. The path infection may travel varies and some dental infections may go to dangerous places rapidly, as in hours to a full day. I would look for swelling, difficulty breathing, lethergy, increasing temperature as signs to go to the emergency room. If no signs like this show up, call the DDS in a.m.

Watch Temp: If your taking her temperature with an Oral thermometer, it might be fooled by the swelling in her mouth. If not and her mild fever worsens, go to the ER of your local hospital. She may have an infection and need antibiotics.

Fever: May or may not be in reaction to the surgery or to any residual infection. Not knowing your daughter's age, or whether the tylenol with codeine was prescribed for her or was just something you had around the house, the best thing I can suggest miscall the Dentist, NOW.
