Numbness In Cheek, Blister Inside Mouth, Tenderness. On Ibuprofen. Is It Infected?
I was at the dentist on Thursday last week. I bit the inside of my cheek while numb. I had a quarter size blister and the dentist broke it. How long should it be tender and how will I know if it is infected? I have been taking 600-800 milligrams of Ibuprofen ever 5 hours. I am still limited on what I can eat. Should I be better by now it has been 5 days.

Hi,
The cut will healed within few days.
but to be on safe side go for one short antibiotic medicine course as there is likely of having infection due to irritation of taking food, fluids etc.
Do antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
