question: I m 28 years old and I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 9 years ago. They told me at that time they couldn t remove all of the top left wisdom tooth because it was wrapped around a nerve. About 4 days ago my gum behind that left top molar became very swollen and very painful. I called my dentist and have an appointment in 2 days but I now have a fever of 104, am very sick to my stomach and dizzy and tired. I went to a walk in where they put me on an antibiotic but couldn t tell me what was wrong. They said it could be tonsillitis?
