Undergoing Periodontal Cleaning. Started Pain, Low Grade Fever And Fatigued. Is It Due To Bacterial Infection?
Question: I am having a periodontal cleaning undergoing. After a couple of days from the first cleaning my gums started paining due to infection and I I felt low grade fever and fatigue. I was given antibiotic(pencilin), the feverish feeling may have reduced but still the fatigue remains . There is somewhat a head heavy feeling.. Is due to something else other than the bacterial infection?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of fatigue is commonly associated with infections due to a weakness in the immune system. This is likely to subside in next two weeks.
I recommend you to have echinacea tea and drink 3 cups of this per day to support your immune system.
Stick to bland foods and mouthwash without alcohol to minimize symptoms. Vitamin B-Complex supplements, electrolyte XXXXXXX fluids and plenty of fluids orally also help in faster recovery.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
