Experiencing Chills, Temperature, Coughing And Chest Pain After A Wisdom Tooth Removal
My son had a wisdom tooth removed yesterday morning and has taken his amoxicillin since then, but today he has a temp of 99.4 and has chills, coughing up yellow phylum and chest pain. Will the amoxicillin keep his infection from reaching his bloodstream making him sicker. Is some of these symptoms related to the extraction or is something else going on.
Thank you

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as your son has undergone wisdom tooth extraction now he feels fever dont worry after extraction sometimes fever occurs .
As he is taking amoxicillin yes, it will help in fever .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Take proper antibiotic course and if then fever continues after 3 days then consult physician.
Hope this will help you.
