Extraction of wisdom multiple wisdom teeth is often associated with post complications like fever ,nausea and vomiting.
After extraction , the healing process starts and there is increased salivation due to which you may feel nausea and vomiting.
Due to reduced apetite and low intake of diet you may feel hyperacidity and vomiting . Fever can be reactionary symptoms or sometimes infection of the extraction socket may lead to pain and fever.
Continue with the course of antibiotic and analgesics prescribed to you along with paracetamol .
If the symptoms do not subside in 3 to 5 days you need to consult your dentist.
i hope this helps ,

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query,
you might be having infection.
Although having a tooth pulled is usually very safe, the procedure can allow harmful bacteria into the bloodstream. Gum tissue is also at risk of infection. If you have a condition that puts you at high risk for developing a severe infection, you may need to take antibiotics before and after the extraction.
Continue to brush and floss your teeth, and brush your tongue, but be sure to avoid the extraction site. Doing so will help prevent infection.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful

Fever, Vomitting After Extraction Of Wisdom Tooth. On Painkiller. No Infection. What Could It Be?
HELLO AND WELCOME, Since your daughter has undergone wisdom teeth extraction,the symptoms associated are usually occuring. There is development of dry socket which shows fever,headache,brown discolouration of extraction socket. I would suggest you to gargle warm saline rinses frequently. Obtundant dressing using ZOE/iODOFORM gauze is usually done. Antibiotics-analgesics has to be administered. Maintain good oral hygiene to enhance wound healing. Please do not touch the area using fingers. Take complete rest for a minimum of 7 days. hope this helps.
