Should I Be Concerned About The Mild Pain, Nausea And Fatigue After Molar Extraction Which Had Some Infection?

Hello,
I had a 2nd molar ( top left) extracted last evening. I am experiencing some pain; not bad, but have mild nausea and lethargy. I am drinking warm liquids and soft food. Should I be concerned? Doctor did not prescribe antibiotics, but he did say that I had a small infection.
Thank you

Hello,

If there is infection associated with extracted tooth,amoxycillin along with clavulinic acid has to be administered.

Irrigate the socket with betadine solution and place ZOE dressing over the socket to promote wound healing.

Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.

Plenty of fruits as well as fluids has to be ingested.

Take adequate rest.

Hope this helps.
