Can infection on wisdom tooth cause fever?

Answer 1

yes, infected wisdom teeth can cause fever,headache, aspirin will help , antibotics will cure it temporarily, a dentist will cure it permanently. The back of your mouth, in the corners, is where the most pain will be. The "hinge" of your jaw will alsoWhe be quite painful. In my case, which began about a week 1/2 ago and got very excruciating in the past few days (had to go to dentist today for emergency), I noticed thay teeth were being pushed forward. Most notable were my two front teeth on top. My dentist gave me a rx of penicillin for the infection--all the signs were there--and I took some Tylenol in the mean time of getting that prescription filled, so I could bring down my fever. When I finally took the penicillin (2 pills for initial dose), I didn't really notice a thing until about 2 hours later. I'm telling you, my pain was reduced tenfold. The swelling went down a good 80%, my fever went away, and jaw stopped aching. The antibiodic responded very well to the infection. When the dentist prescribed me with this, he said it would really reduce the pain and swelling (he did not tell me it was infected, but it was obvious from the initial symptoms and response to the penicillion that it was. This is also what my dentist was implying when he gave me the prescription--my tooth/teeth were infected and would respond well to this antibiodic). He said that this was to help me last until 2 weeks from then, which was the date of my surgery. I was almost 100% certain that I would not last even half that long before I took the antibiodic, but CAN SEE JUST WHAT MY DOCTOR MEANT. However, the gums in the back are raised a little bit, so I can't see how I'm going to eat. I will have to talk to my orthal surgeon about an earlier appointment, but other than that PENICILLIIN WILL HELP A GREAT DEAL WITH AN INFRECTED WISDOM TOOTH, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY WHAT YOU HAVE.

A fever may be a sign that your wisdom teeth are infected.
