My had his wisdom teeth removed.Two days later his face swelled up. We got him to the hospital and they preformed emergency surgery to remove an infection from his mouth. After 3 days in the hospital we were told the culture eas positive for Strep A. He stayed in the hospital for a total of 5 days. His is home now for 5 days and continues to run a low temp around 97 and has excessive night sweats. Tomorrow is the last day of his antibiotics.  Not sure what to do.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that there were left over portions of roots of the wisdom tooth leading to continuous proliferation of infection, and it might have also involved facial spaces leading to Cellulitis and space infections. The rise in temperature is due to septicemia leading to entry of the infectious bacteria into the blood circulation leading to fever. As your antibiotics course is about to complete you should consult your treating physician again and if needed he can top up the prescription again so that the infection completely subsides. You can also take Tylenol for reducing fever and do cold sponges over the forehead and extremities. Take ample of rest. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
