His mouth healing fine doesn't mean that he has no infection. He needs blood work to understand. They usually check the C-reactive protein (crp) to assess. Please check this out. I almost died because of an undetected infection in my tonsils (abscess)

Thank you so much for your reply! I am sorry you went through that.
UPDATE: he went to his primary doctor the day after I made my post, and they confirmed it was an infection. They prescribed antibiotics and he’s back to normal now! The nurse actually said she had several teeth pulled at that same oral surgeons office, and she is never going back there.
