Hello doctor,
I just had three wisdom teeth pulled three days back. I still have severe swelling in my face and neck. I have been having a fever since last night. I have a severe migraine for two days now. Could I have an infection?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question I can understand your concern. As per your history, it looks like that you may be having post extraction infection. As you said, there is swelling, pain, and fever, all these symptoms lead to a conclusion of post-extraction infection. You need to take the following medication like tablet Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 twice daily for five days, tablet Zerodol SP twice daily for three days. If you are having large swelling or any other associated medical or drug history let me know so that I may adjust your medication and dosage accordingly.
