Are Fever And Chills Normal After Teeth Extraction?

I had two teeth extracted last Friday. One molar on top and one molar on the bottom. I have been taking antibiotics since last monday (over a week) but am getting cold chills. I have a higher temperature than normal as well. My normal temperature is 97.2 but right now it is running a little over 98. Is this ok?

It is ok. Do not worry. You have completed your antibiotic course. Just check that your extraction socket is healing or not. It should not have any putrid smell and you should not be having any pain either.
