Can flu-like symptoms be caused by the growing in of wisdom teeth?

If by flu-like symptoms you mean fever and pain, the answer is yes.if your wisdom tooth is semi-erupted some times cause the disorder called "Pericoronitis"in which the gum tissue around the wisdom teeth becomes swollen and infected.when the tooth is semi-erupted(break through the gum) This allows an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection.if you just have a little pain with regular salt and water you solve the problem but in sever case you need to go to your dentist for possible antibiotics and tooth extraction .

I was always told that it was the 1st sign of gengivitis. Try using a small amount of peroxide mixed with your mouthwash. It will bubble up (naturally) but it will help.

This may sound goofy, but you may want to rule out a dental infection/problem.  They can often cause body aches, lethargy, etc.  Be sure to see your dentist.

According to the ADA (American Dental Association) there are plenty of things that can cause them such as bacterial, viral or fungal infections. A loose orthodontic wire, a denture that doesn't fit, or a sharp edge from a broken tooth or filling may also be the culprit. Mouth sores may be symptoms of a disease or disorder. A dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer. Most common mouth sores are Canker sores.  unlike cold sores, canker sores appear inside the mouth. And, they are not contagious. Their exact cause is uncertain but some experts believe that immune system problems, bacteria or viruses may be involved. Fatigue, stress or allergies can increase the likelihood of a canker sore.  A cut caused by biting the cheek or tongue, or reactions from hot foods or beverages may contribute to canker sore development. Intestinal problems, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, also seem to make some people more susceptible. \nTreating Canker Sores: They usually heal on their own after a week or two, but an outbreak may occur. Over-the-counter topical anesthetics and antimicrobial mouthrinses may provide temporary relief. Stay away from hot, spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore.  Antibiotics and some oral bandages can reduce secondary infection.

enlarged lymph nodes in neck are sign of infection. it may be due to medical or dental reasons. if you are feeling dental pain associated with any tooth, it's better to consult a dentist. he will prescribe some antibiotics to clear off infection and treat the underlying cause i.e tooth \nif there is no associated dental problem you can consult a physician who will rule out any orofacial infection.\n\nbut it's better to get it treated soon otherwise the infection may spread to other organs as lymphatic drainage is quite extensive in our body and it tends to supply all over the body so the infection may spread.

Sounds like the Flu to me, but it could be any number of diseases.

You didn't say how long ago you had the flu.  CAREFUL!  My son had the "flu" 2 years ago, and he never recovered fully.  He had symptoms of chronic fatigue and had vision black-outs.\n\nWe took him to Mayo Clinic a month ago, because no Dr in our area could tell us what was wrong.\n\nWe found out that he has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, (POTS for short)\n\nIT STARTS WITH THE FLU!!!!!  \n\nthis is a new, strange, syndrome that they are just starting to research.\n\ndo you have headaches?  stomach pain?  read the website below for more information\n\ngood luck!

Mis diagnosis of infections...such as spheniod sinus infection.  They say this is one that isn't usually diagnosed except by death. I can tell you that infection over a long period of time will make you sick, then sicker until you can barely move...That was my expirience!  Remember doctors practice medicine...not healing!  They can make one symptom go away but give you a 100 more!  Teeth are very close to your brain so any infection can be very serious!  To bad so many doctors are just plain retarded when you don't have insurance!

Wisdom teeth that are "Partially in" or what we call "Partially Impacted" usually will not be able to come in on their own.  When they are positioned like this, there are more prone to getting infected.  If there is a pocket surrounding them (a flap of tissue or communication with the pocket from the surrounding tooth) bacteria or food debris can get trapped and cause a localized soft tissue infection.  If you are saying that they hurt you "a heap" now, then most likely they will continue to hurt; maybe even get worse.  Sometimes the pain might go away temporarily; however, it is sure to return sometime in the future.  I would recommend getting them out before they get worse.  It may be possible for your dentist to clean out the area around them and place you on antibiotics to TEMPORARILY resolve the pain until it is convenient for you to get them out; however, this is not a long term solution!

It's a syndrome, not the flu.  Antibiotics will not get rid of it, but there are medications that can help relieve some of the symptoms.

In humans, avian flu viruses cause similar symptoms to other types of flu. [21] These include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, conjunctivitis and, in severe cases, severe breathing problems and pneumonia that may be fatal. The severity of the infection will depend to a large part on the state of the infected person's immune system and if the victim has been exposed to the strain before, and is therefore partially immune. In one case, a boy with H5N1 experienced diarrhea followed rapidly by a coma without developing respiratory or flu-like symptoms, suggesting non-standard symptoms.

normal side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, minor bleeding.  Just make sure you follow the surgeons instructions on after care or you could develop a painful condition called dry socket.  When you are being put under you'll just feel sleepy.  It happens really fast.
