Suggest Treatment For Fever And Diarrhea Post Tooth Extraction

I got two top teeth pulled two days ago. I have a low fever 100, diarrhea, feel very weak, and generally don't feel well. I also noticed white stuff in my extraction sites. Should I be concerned? I can't call my dentist as they are clised for the holidays.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain, the symptoms that you are facing can be side effect of either local anaesthesia that must be given to you prior to extraction or the medication like antibiotics and painkillers that must be given to you post extraction as these are common side effects seen with medications post extraction..

As the medication intake will be stopped the symptoms will improve..

As of now you can take Tylenol to reduce fever and loperamide for diarrhea..
You should take plenty of probiotics like Yoghurt..

Secondly white stuff in the extraction site is nothing to be worried about as it is healing tissue that will continue to differentiate and heal the site of extraction..
Do not disturb it at all as it is responsible for healing of the extraction site..

Hope this information helps..

Regards..
