Does Teeth Extraction Cause Fevers And Infections?
My son had 4 teeth extracted in preparation for braces. Less than 24 hours later he developed chills, a fever of 103 and headache. Called dentist and he said it was too early to have an infection, but prescribed antibotics anyway. Now two days after extraction he still has fever of 103, chills and headache. Should I worry?

Hello,
Actually extraction of teeth does not cause this kind of fever of 103, and even it is continuing after taking antibiotics.
Better that once you should visit a pediatrician and get a proper treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
