10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #4: Fever
When we are ill, a fever is often not far away. It is usually a direct response to pathogens in the body as the fever is intended to help kill the intruders, or at least slow down the rate they are spreading. Fevers can be dangerous to us if they reach too high, but they are usually nothing to be concerned about in themselves.
Patients that have a dry socket may experience a fever. It is not a common symptom as a dry socket is not an infection, but a fever can still be found in some cases. If the fever does become more significant, then it is an indicator that a potentially serious infection has taken hold.
