hi, 5 year old had a baby tooth extracted yesterday. She was taking amoksikllav for 5 days before the extraction and will continue to take it for 10 consecutive days. Last night she had a fever of 100F and today is still btw 98-99 F. Is the temperature normal?I asked the dentist but he said it shouldnt be a result of tooth extraction,maybe smth else.
Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. After tooth extraction, a little general discomfort is expected. Fever apart from sign of infection can also occur due to inflammation. More chances are that tooth was extracted due to dental infection. So low grade fever can occur. Since fever is between 99 and 100F, Make your child rest adequately. Give prescribed fever medications by her physician. Maintain HY Chat Doctor.  Give her soft food. Fever should go with in 2-3 days. If it persists or if it exceeds 100F, see your physician for further check up. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
