How Do I Ease The Pain In The Jaw After Dental Treatment?

My daughter had an allergic reaction to epinephrine at the dentist today. The reactions have subsided for the most part, but she s still in pain, especially her jaws. She takes topiramate as a maintenance med to avoid migraines, and since she took 50 mg of it this morning, she s not sure what she could take, or do, to ease the pain in her jaws.

Hello,

Well the pain can be due to the dental problem causing radiating pain in her jaws. So in order to relieve pain she should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated. A painkiller shot can help in severe pain, however oral painkillers can also Be advised to relieve pain. She can take Acetaminophen to relieve pain and along with it do cool compresses over the jaws. Take soft meals and avoid excessive mouth opening. Also in future if she needs anesthesia shots she can be advised an Epinephrine free anesthesia. Also if the dental treatment is due she should get it done soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
