What Causes Body Aches, Fever And Sore Throat After Stopping Hydrocodone?

I had my wisdom teeth pulled eight days ago and was prescribed 7.5 mg of hydrocodone. I have been taking then every 4 hours, as told by the doctor, day and night. Except for today and yesterday. I was first craving them, and now I m having body aches, a fever, and a sore throat. Is it possible that I have a mild dependence on them and is experiencing withdraws?

No this is not the case you are under the wrong impression the symptoms of pain and fever, sore throat may not related with withdrawal of drug, but this could be due to teeth extraction only, hope this information helps.
