Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever could be because of the inflammation. In some patients fever might come following extraction of the teeth(if it is removed surgically). Nothing to worry, you can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). You can also take analgesic and antipyretic like tablet flexon(ibuprofen and paracetamol).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
