Brief Answer:
May be a different reason
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
I have read your query and my suggestions are as follows:
- Get the tooth infection examined again by your dentist. It may or may not be healing. Antibiotics may be causing unnecessary side effects. Thus followup with a dentist would be needed to know further course of action.
- Complete the antibiotic regime as prescribed.
- Get your Blood pressure checked again as it may be getting low due to stress etc
- The fever may be due to other reasons like viral, etc. Bacterial infection is less likely
- Take prebiotics. Take medicines for vomiting if any and rehydrate if diarhea is present.
Also let me know how long have you been taking the antibiotics.
Hope it helps.
