Possible sepsis

My girlfriend just had a molar tooth pulled yesterday. Today she has vomited three times, says she's cold, has a splitting headache. Is this possibly sepsis? She also took way too many aspirin, ibuprofen and Tylenol the day before getting her tooth pulled, could that be the problem?

Dear you are right that cud be the reason. Give her ORS solution to maintain neutrality of body. Need to drink lot of water to flush out medication. For extraction socket warm saline rinse and take her for ice cream walk tonight. she will be fine .

Too much medication is never a good idea. Keep a gap of at least 6 hours between painkillers and never take more than recommended dosage. Antibiotics can also cause gastritis and vomiting. Avoid all medication. After 48 hours of extraction, she can do warm salt water gargles. Unlikely to be sepsis.
