Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint fever and chills after wisdom tooth extraction can occur in case if there is spread of infection known as Septicemia but most commonly it occurs within a day or two after extraction but in case you have taken an antibiotic course after extraction chances of infection are less but in case you have not taken antibiotics can cause infection causing fever and chills. It can also occur due to non-healing extraction socket if the blood clot is dislodged from its socket leaving it empty and causing\" Chat Doctor. . It is also possible that fever is due to the viral infection, and it can not be related to tooth extraction. I would suggest you to take Acetaminophen 500\u00a0mg three times a day and rest. In case if the fever completely subsides it is fine otherwise you need to consult a physician and get evaluated and treated accordingly. In case of infection due to extraction a course of antibiotics and acetaminophen will relieve. Hope this information helps.
