Suggest Treatment For Fever And Chills Post A Tooth Extraction Surgery

I had 4 teeth extracted surgically about 36 hrs ago. All day I have had fever, chills aches, and sharp pain in my joints. My skin is on fire but I'm freezing in my bones. I've had 3500 my amoxicillin since an hour before surgery. ( Mitral valve prolapse) I'm alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen, with no relief.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like the symptoms that you are explaining are due to side effect of the medication or the anaesthesia..

If you have any medical condition ongoing as you have indicated [but not made it clear though] then you should not delay and immediately consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

If it is a side effect of the medication then you can be advised to stop the antibiotic and the drug will be changed under proper observation..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
