15 Year Old With Hot Flashes And Early Periods After Having Wisdom Tooth Removed. Reason?

i just had my wisdom teeth removed the Tuesday before last, never have i ever had hot flashes, i'm only 15 years old. i know my body went through trauma, and it probably stressed it out a bit. because i started my period the day after i got it out completely off schedule, like i said, i assume its from where my body was stressed. but, whats causing the hot flashes? withdrawl from the pain medicine? or just hormones?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth extraction is not a simple procedure its often associated with post operative complications like pain, fever, swelling, malaise.
The above symptoms which you have mentioned are due to the use of antibiotics ans stress.
I would suggest you to take complete rest, avoid stress.
Follow the post operative instruction given by the Dentist properly.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles to prevent infection and promote healing.
Take tab paracetomol for fever.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.


Hope this helps out.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Hot flashes or fever , loss of appetite , nausea , general weakness are the common symptoms seen post extraction of wisdom tooth.

Extraction of wisdom tooth often ends with such complications so nothing to worry about.
usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection and for you to feel normal.

yes harmonal changes in the body, physical stress and changed food habits after extraction can also lead to early periods and hot flashes.

follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse which will give you soothing effect.

maintain a healthy lifestyle , drink lot of water and keep your self hydrated.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Injury and inflammation from the procedure / possibly infection? / in association with stress - any or all of them might have been responsible...
A single occurrence like this needs no investigation or follow up...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
