Can wisdom teeth can cause flu like symptoms?

Wisdom teeth: If the teeth and or the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth becomes infected, you could experience a fever. Your immune system would be compromised so you may be really tired aw well.

Yes, but: Yes, but only when associated with local symptoms like pain and swelling. You will not get flu like symptoms from wisdom teeth without local inflammation. For best results, see a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon for exam/xrays/recommendations.
