What Steps Should I Be Taking If Any Left Hip Replacement Surgery Happened ?
Question: I had teeth cleaning yesterday. During the night was coughing and had to use my albuterol inhaler. Today I feel ill. Achy and flu like no fever. I always preced dental cleaning with prescription amoxicillin due to a left hip replacement 5 years ago. What steps should I be taking if any?
Brief Answer:
Check body temperature or for other symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I think you should keep yourself under observations , checking body temperature or other symptoms you may develop.
Use tylenol for these flu like symptoms.
I can't find this much related to teeth cleaning.
Also taking count that you took amoxicillin it can't be related to bacterial infection.
It can just be common cold.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
