Wisdom Teeth Extracted, Frequent Pain In Jawline, Low Grade Fever, Ache, Fatigue. Taking Clindamycin. Advise?

Had two lower impacted wisdom teeth removed in Mexico. That was six days ago. Strong pain in the jawline comes and goes and yesterday I developed flu like symptoms such as low grade fever, aches and general fatigue. Tijuana is a long way to return to. When should I be concerned enough to see a local dentist or doctor? Am taking clindamycin 3 times daily.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Wisdom tooth extraction is often associated with post extraction complications like pain, swelling, fever, malaise, difficulty in mouth opening.
You dont worry about the symptoms as they will subside after sometimes.
Follow the post extraction instructions given by the Dentist properly.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics, take tab paracetomol for fever.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards...
