What Causes Fever And Low Body Temperature After Having Teeth Pulled Out?

My husband had two teeth pulled out yesterday, a little bit after he had a fever and was extremely cold we had to use many blankets to warm him yet he was still cold. He was like this for most of the night, then he would heat up. His heart rate also went up and he had pain. I rang the dentist and they said it is not a normal reaction and said he needs to go to the doctor but I asked him and he wouldn't go. My husband looks after his teeth but they are gradually falling out he has lost a lot of his teeth. He has other health problems such as gout he is average weight. His dad had severe gout and died at 52 of a heart attack. He has calmed down today but I am worried he might have an infection.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

Fever, pain and swelling are common complications after tooth extarction as time passes they subside by its own, but if he is having cold chills a checkup by a Physician is required, i would suggest you to consult a Physician and get a checkup done , get a blood checkup done.
Ask your hubby to relax and take complete rest, he will be fine.

Take care!
