Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth, you have infection now dont worry this cold sweats it can be due to infection is there in your body , or may be due to viral fever ,
Take proper medication prescribed by your dentist,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
If you are feeling fever take One Tablet Paracetamol 500mg twice daily for three days if you wont get releif then consult physician of this,
Go to dentist for regular check up
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
