[|Human|] i had dental work done 6 days ago and had to have novacaine before the procedure. I am still experiencing numbness in my upper lip , nose , eye, and ear. As well as a thickness in the throat . Very similar to the feeling you experince as the novacaine is wearing off. The feeling isn t constant and comes and goes but I would say it is present 75% of the time. Any suggestions.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query. Usually numbness after local anesthetic administration lasts for 5-6 hours. Since in your case the numbness persist even after 6 days. This may be due to many factors- 1.over dosage of local anesthetic administration. 2.cheek/lip biting during the time of LA action. 3.neurological disturbances associated. I would suggest you to- visit a dentist at the earliest. Apply cold ice packs on the affected area. Consult with a neurosurgeon. Muscle relaxants can be administered. REGARDS Chat Doctor.
