Can Infection Of The Wisdom Teeth Cause A Throat Infection And Cold?
Question: I was just put on anti biotics for an infection with my wisdom teeth and the day after I started dry coughing. My throat is sore and I’m coughing up mostly clear phlegm but it’s hurts my throat to cough and it’s very dry. Is it a cold or something else?
Brief Answer:
A viral situation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you explain the history it seems like a common cold due to a viral situation.
Don't worry you are currently taking antibiotic and the bacterial infections are covered.
You should continue correctly the treatment and add a spray antiseptic for the throat.
You don't have to do anything else.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
