Can Medication For Fever Be Taken After The Tooth Extraction?
My son had 4 wisdom teeth extracted and was given percocet for pain. He now has a fever and wants to know if he can take anything for that or should he go to the ER? Teeth were removed 2 days ago, med dose is 325mg every 4 hrs, uncomfortable but not excruciating pain. Thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever following extraction of the tooth can be of inflammatory origin. Nothing to be panic. You can continue the same medicines that is percocet and take a course of antibiotics along with percocet like amoxicillin and metronidazole.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
