Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that headache after wisdom tooth extraction can be due to radiating pain from extraction site and can subside gradually as the healing will progress..
As far as nausea and hot flashes are concerned they can be due to side effect of medicines like antibiotics and painkillers that you must be taking post extraction..
If it is the side effects of medicines then also it will get resolved once the medicine intake will be stopped..
In case if symptoms exaggerate immediately stop the medicines and consult your treating dentist.. He can change the medicines and give you lighter Medication..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
