What Causes Nausea Post Wisdom Tooth Removal?

J had gastric bypass surgery 8 weeks ago and 3 wisdom teeth surgically removed 4 days ago. Today I have been very nauseated (I had been doing much better with this) and tired, I thought that was because I started back to work yesterday but am only doing 4 hour shifts right now. Tonight I began having chills but no fever (temp 96.0) my mouth, ears, neck, and head are hurting pretty bad. Have had a few dizzy spells tonight also. And my BP is slightly elevated (164/90). I was only able to tolerate about 12 oz of water, 6 oz of yogurt, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup ground beef with gravy, and 4 low fat cheese crackers all day. Could the way I am feeling be dehydration? Or could I be coming down with something? Seems like since my surgery I get sick so easy, in fact it was just 2.5 weeks ago that I had completed 3 weeks of TPN, so I tend to worry

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it seems that Nausea, chills and also hurting of ears, mouth, neck and head post wisdom tooth extraction seems to be most probably due to side effects of the medications that is antibiotics and painkillers given to you post extraction of wisdom tooth..

Although the symptoms can be temporary and will resolve once the medication intake is stopped..

In case if the symptoms worsen you should stop taking medications and consult your treating dentist and get evaluated and he can advise you anti allergics and also change the medication..

Continue taking soft and light diet, drink plenty of water and take sufficient rest..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
