Have Fever, Severer Chills And Excruciating Aches After Tooth Extraction

after having an infected tooth extracted a few days ago, i experienced severe chills, slight fever, and excruciating aches for about 48 hours. the only relief i could get was to take long hot showers and even then felt as though i had the flu. i am fine now, but was wondering what was going on. just curious...can t seem to find an answer.
