Is Cold And Cough Normal After Teeth Removal?

hi I had a tooth removed two weeks ago-it was not infected, but rather cracked - anyway I had the tooth removed and 5 days after it was removed, I got a cough and cold like symptoms, which I still have a bit of today, after two weeks . I have no fever - is this normal?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the cough and cold has nothing to do with the tooth extraction. it can be because of bacterial infection. consult an ENT surgeon for opinion and needful. you can do saline gargling 3-4times daily for 5 days. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
