I was scheduled to have a bottom molar and the wisdom tooth extracted next Thursday.
I took an antibiotic for a week and after I finished bam, I got sick.
Horrible sore throat + dry cough (no COVID), which is not resolving after 7 days (no fever) so the ENT gave me another antibiotic+ nebuliser for 8 days.

I called the dentist office to postpone the surgery.

Now, on the same side I have the top molar with an old root canal which is being sensitive.

Questions:

1. How long would one want to wait after recovering from a long bacterial pharingytis before multiple extractions (2. Or 3 not impacted molars)
2. Is it true that because maybe the immune system is not yet fully recovered, there is more chance of dry socket? (Chatgpt opinion 🤣)
3. Would I want to add the top molar to the bottom two since they are at the same side?
I never removed multiple teeth and it was already hard to recover from one!!

I am hoping I don't have to remove the top one but to be honest I learnt how it goes with root cnaaled teeth :(

Doesn't matter. Whenever you feel up to it.

No. Dry socket isn't an infection.

If you feel up to it, there's no particular reason why not.
