Horečka a angína: Jak souvisí s ústním zdravím a zuby

When you feel a horečka, tělesná teplota nad 37,5 °C, která je reakcí těla na infekci. Also known as vysoká teplota, it often signals that something deeper is wrong—maybe not just a cold, but an infection hiding in your mouth. Many people think fever and sore throat are just part of a flu, but if they come with swollen gums, bad breath, or pain around a tooth, it’s likely your angína, zánět hrtanu, často způsobený bakteriemi nebo viry. Also known as zánět mandlí, it can be triggered by a dental abscess or infected wisdom tooth. This isn’t coincidence. Your mouth is connected to your whole body. A hidden infection in a root canal, a broken filling, or gum disease can spread bacteria through your bloodstream and cause fever, swollen lymph nodes, or even angina-like throat pain.

That’s why a zubní infekce, lokální infekce v zubu nebo dásni, která může vést k hnisu a šíření bakterií. Also known as absces zubu, it often goes unnoticed until it triggers systemic symptoms is so dangerous. You might visit a doctor for fever and get antibiotics, but if the source is your tooth, the fever will come back. Antibiotics don’t fix a rotten tooth—they just temporarily silence the infection. The real fix? Removing the source. That’s why dentists often spot the real problem when patients say, “I had a sore throat and fever, but my tooth has been aching for weeks.”

It’s not just about pain. If you’ve had recurring angina, swollen glands, or fever after dental work, or if your throat hurts more on one side, that’s a red flag. A single infected tooth can raise your body temperature for days. And if you ignore it, the infection can spread to your jaw, sinuses, or even your heart. People don’t realize that a toothache isn’t just a “dental issue”—it’s a potential medical emergency.

What you’ll find here are real cases—how people mistook a tooth abscess for strep throat, how fever disappeared only after root canal treatment, and why antibiotics alone won’t save you if the source stays. We’ll show you what signs to watch for, when to skip the doctor and go straight to the dentist, and how to tell if your sore throat is just a virus… or something worse hiding behind your molars.
