Suffering from fever after extraction of a abscessed tooth
Patient: My three-year-old had an abscessed tooth pulled today. She has been on antibiotics for about 5 days, but she is now running a low-grade fever (100 degrees or so). Ibuprofen seems to bring the fever down. I'm just wondering if I should be concerned about it. Doctor: Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.The fever can occur because of infected tooth and even because of exertion of extraction. So there is nothing to worry about it.But if the fever continues for more than two or three days then you have to consult a pediatrician.Hope it will help you.
