Does your mouth where the teeth were pulled hurt?How long has the headaches and body aches been going on? In any event i would follow up today with ER. to assess whether you could have developed an infection from the extraction and may have positive blood culture.Alternatively it could be the flu. But follow up today blood infection from dental work are uncommon but serious.

No. Get seen for evaluation. It may have little to do with your teeth.

You may have residual infection or totally unrelated cause. Talk to the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon who did your extractions. You may also have additional dental infections. Also talk to your General Practitioner, the Physician that you should have been seeing for routine care and baseline testing, for variation from your recorded norm.
