What Causes Fever And Chills After Tooth Extraction?

Hi there. I have a question, please! Over the last year and half, I pulled off three wisdom teeth. every time I pull one I get a mild fever and chills that goes away after antibiotics? are the chills and fever normal or should I be worried?

Thank you,

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever after extraction of the tooth can be of inflammatory origin, usually chills will not be there. Nothing to be panic, Take the course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and analgesics with antipyretics like ibuorifen paracetamol combination. The fever and chills will come down in 3 days. If it is not reduced, then consult a general physician.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
