no, don't be afraid. antibiotics are described when the patients develops fever or in other cases of serious swelling that can be dangerous for the throat and breathing or for the brain. these are rare cases but must receive intense care because they are potentially fatal. once the tooth has been removed and the infection and swelling subsided, its OK.

Yes, the infection could move to your arm. Some people think the teeth could be the source of many illnesses. Now that the tooth has been removed, the source of the infection may clear up, but the infection in your arm needs to be treated.

once infection is in the body it can travel. dont get why they didnt give antibiotics if it was removed that would have been the time to take them.
