What Causes Extreme Sore Throat After Tooth Extraction?

I had a tooth pulled last week because it was rotten and I thought it was making me sick. I now have an extremely sore throat. And cough. Some sneezing. My upper palate is all yellow. They did give me a numbing shot there. Wondering if this is normal? Before my tooth was pulled had a weird head tension and my limph nodes felt weird. My tooth wasn't hurting because I had a root canal there years ago. But the crown has since broken off and food and junk would always get stuck there. That's why it looked rotten. Figured it should come out. But now I feel worse with my throat. Thinking maybe I should go to urgent care?

Hi...that could be due to antibiotics prescribed for you...within couple of days it would go by its own...All you can do is salt lukewarm water rinses 2-3 times daily , it would help you a bit.
