2 Years Ago I Had A Pain In My Jaw. I Have Consulted A Dentist And He Prescribed Me A Medicine.After Taking That Medicine My Mouth Began To Close And It Got Infection("Pus")
Dear Doctor , 2 years ago I had a pain in my jaw. I have consulted a Dentist and he prescribed me a medicine.After taking that medicine my mouth began to close and it got infection( Pus ) near to the molar teeth after taking some treatment it recovered but my underlips are still unconscious. Please advice me...
Hi, You have ot mentioned about the type of treatment undertaken which corrected your problem.If it was a surgical extraction in the 2nd or third molar area, it may have caused some compression/damage to the inferior alveolar nerve because of which you are feeling this numbness in your underlips region. The nerve usually heals on its own. You can take supplements to enhance the regeneration though which can be prescribed by a Dentist.
Thank u doctor for replying me.My treatment was not a surgical extraction rather some medicines were prescribed me in the treatment. May be these medicines have caused the numbness in my underlips.So please tell me how can i recover this problem
Dear Kamal, we generally prescribe cyanocobalamin to be taken daily in such cases.One tablet has to be taken daily.There are many brands available like neurobione forte.
Take one daily for a long time.
Hi Kamal,
The symptoms what you have given i.e., pus formation and inability to open the mouth are definitely not due to the medications what you have taken. It might be due to pericoronal infection i.e., infection and pus formation inside the flap tissue covering your last molar tooth due to its incomplete eruption. This usually causes these symptoms. The lack of sensation in your lips might be due to the compression of your Inferior alveolar nerve by roots of erupting last molar, which usually gets relieved by itself. So better contact an dentist and get an x ray done for the last tooth to confirm the diagnosis.
