Hi,

This is due to spread of infection from traumatic extraction.

Another possibility is fall in blood glucose sugar and pressure.

It is a matter of concern. Send me further information if he has any other disease like diabetes, pressure.

Send his blood pressure recording and pulse as well. If you can't send, please report to the emergency room immediately to monitor his vitals. He may need an antibiotic injection and other necessary drug therapeutic measures.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
