    I got my teeth pulled this morning. I feel like I have a slight fever (maybe a couple of degrees - I can't check because of the fresh wounds in my mouth caused by the extractions). Fever was not on the list of possible problems, and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this. Could it be related to the extraction, or simply that I've come down with something?
