How old?
(Not you, the daughter).
David SH said:Hi
My daughter has just had two teeth extracted. She had local anaesthetic
injections in her gums. Half an hour or so after the teeth were extracted,
her lower lip swelled up like a balloon. The dentist suggested that she may
have bitten the lip and doesn't know it, as the lip was numb and has
referred her to a dental specialist unit at a local hospital.Has anyone encountered this before? Can lignocaine/lidocaine cause this, or
is trauma the likely reason? And if so, what's the likely prognosis?Thanks and regards
David
