My mother had dental surgery two weeks ago and is still suffering from fatigue and low grade fevers. Any ideas what could be causing it?

It was a fairly straightforward extraction and she was given oral sedatives during the procedure. She has not felt like herself since the procedure and the dentist says there are no visible signs of infection and it is healing well. Any ideas what could be causing this lingering lethargy and flu-like symptoms?

Maybe your mother's symptoms are not related to the dental procedures, and the timing is coincidental.

Maybe she had a bad reaction to the sedatives. (I have no idea if that is possible/likely.)

I'd take her to see her primary care provider.
