[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 552788, member: 6705"] Ok, first things first, it is highly unlikely that it is the bone graft or extraction. Also, if there is no sign of infection in your mouth and that's from the oral surgeon, relax - it isn't your mouth. (I've had so much dental work and so many abscesses... Trust me here.) A fever is actually a good thing, it is your body fighting off anything nasty. What likely happened is that the trauma caused the fever - NOT an infection. I've had this happen a lot. (Now that root canal, where your ear started to hurt? Was it upper or lower? Upper could have nicked a nerve, causing the body to overreact as if it were infected. The bump was probably called a "granuloma" if it was hard, if it was soft it was likely a pocket of pus from, you guessed it, a bad tooth that needed extraction.) If you're not showing infection and your doctor took you off the antibiotics, you're probably fine there. I have phantom tooth pain occasionally, where I've had some extracted. Sometimes it's quite intense. And the last extraction was over a year ago... Also, getting sick - well, you were stressed, in some pain, and it is [I]entirely[/I] possible you picked up a cold, which would make you feel WORSE than a normal cold. And not all colds are sinus-only... But... They're viruses, meaning those antibiotics are pointless. If you can - relax. ONLY if your extraction site is red, puffy, and oozing should you worry... :hugs: [/QUOTE]
