My 3 year old had a tooth extracted yesterday afternoon.  Yesterday evening she had a temp of 102.2 and again today she has had readings this high two additional times.  Her jaw is red and swollen.  She has been on Amoxicillin since the night before the extraction and is still taking it in addition to Motrin every 6 hours.  should I be concerned about her fever?  How long after tooth extraction is a fever expected if at all?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The fever following extraction could be because of the inflammatory response of the body(normal). You can take the course of antibiotics and analgesics. You can continue the course of antibiotics and analgesics and follow the instructions of the dentist. The fever should come down in 1-2days. If it is not reducing, then consult a general physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
