What is wrong with me?
I had three teeth pulled on Monday, a canine the one next to it and a molar. All three had infections. I had been doing fine besides the pain, but on Thursday I had to return to work. About six hours into my shift I got this intense cramping and despite wearing long sleeves I started freezing, I was covered in goosebumps and couldn't stop shivering. I have been trying to throw up but have not been able to, though my body feels like it needs/wants to. The first night I went to lay down and was freezing and shivering so bad, but at the same time my head starting from the left to right got extremely hot. I have intense pain in the middle of the back of my head and my lower back. I wasn't able to see a dr or a dentist, and won't be able to until monday. Could it be from teeth being pulled? Any ideas? I am miserable, thanks for your time.
I live in America. I had been on antibiotics Amoxicillan 875mg for about 20 doses. But it didn't seem to help. Thanks for your help guys.

Pain from your teeth can not be felt in your back. If you had an infection you should have been on anti-biotics before the teeth were pulled.
I would recommend going to the ER or an emergency dental office ASAP. Your ER may have dentists on call, or doctors who actually know something about teeth and can check for infection.
Chills and fever are signs of infection. There are various ways that a tooth infection can spread throughout your body, infecting both bone and blood. Not to sound dramatic, but this can be a serious, possibly life threatening condition.
If it was JUST pain, then I'd probably say it's just from having your teeth pulled. But it honestly sounds like infection may have spread. If I were you, I'd seek medical help.

is there any emergency doctor in your town? you may need to see a doctor before monday. shivering is a sign that your body is heating itself in order to kill bacteria. that means there is an infection. are you in australia? was the dentist from hospital? not a dodgy cheep clinic somewhere? not sure, it sounds like something went wrong and you have infection. is the tooth, jaw also paining? or you may be ate something that was not good? throw up is when we have something in the stomach the immune system tries to get rid of it.
you may need antibiotic. you have to try to drink enough water . don't take tablets on empty stomach that makes you throw up more.
