After wisdom tooth extraction, fever symptoms can be considered to be recovered in about 3 days in the case of uncomplicated infection, and the fever can last up to about 7 days in the case of complicated infection.
1. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgical treatment in dentistry. After surgery, the tissue around the wound is damaged and produces exudates, when the body absorbs these exudates, it can cause the body temperature to rise and trigger the absorption of heat, and then the patient can experience fever.
This fever can be considered as a self-protective reaction of the human body, and generally lasts for a relatively short period of time, with most patients’ temperature returning to normal in about 3 days.
2. If you don’t pay attention to oral hygiene and disinfection after wisdom teeth extraction, bacteria and other pathogens may invade the wound and cause inflammatory lesions. Inflammation stimulates the body’s immune system, which can lead to a rise in the temperature center and cause fever as a clinical manifestation.
The fever caused by the infection may last for about 7 days and should be treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole injection and penicillin as prescribed by the doctor.
Because there are large individual differences between patients, so the exact time needed to recover from fever after wisdom teeth extraction is not exactly the same.
