What Causes High Temperature After Teeth Extraction?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever can be because of the inflamatory reaction that occurs following extraction. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of antipyretics like paracetamol along with antibiotics like penicillin(if you are not allergic).
If the fever does not come down in 2 days, then consult a physician and get it evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
