Had Impacted Wisdom Teeth. Mouth Swollen On One Side And Have Soreness. On Amoxicillin And Zpack. Having Fever. Suggest

Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I see that your daughter has developed may be periapical abscess for which I and D was done . The antibiotics that have been prescribed to her are appropriate .
The pain that she is experiencing in ears is a radiating pain that can occur with these abscesses . But having fever is a bad sign and she needs to see a dentist immediately . Yes definitely blood cultures should be taken but more important is the culture sensitivity of pus that was drained earlier because only by that exact antibiotic can be started . Your treating dentist must have sent the sample for that.
There is a chance that the two episodes be unrelated but higher probability is that they are related . I advise you to ask your daughter to see dentist immediately because oral examination is necessary to find out the exact cause .
Wish you good health.
Take care.
