Wisdom tooth
A new wisdom tooth appeared to me a couple of months ago. It was accompanied with severe toothache and ear pain. I had consulted doctor and had taken antibiotics for preventing infection; But now I'm going through the same condition. There's a slight wound over there and my body temperature is fluctuating. Is there anything serious?
