Suggest Remedy For Pain And Numbness After Molar Extraction

I have recently had a nasty moler extracted (3 days ago) and was prescribed a cheaper version of augmentin (apotex). I have only just taken it and am experiencing slight numbness around the extraction site including some of my tongue, roof of mouth and top teeth. (all on the right side). I have heard that severe numbness can be bad but i cant find anywhere that tells me this in detail. please help

Ok nevermind. i didnt realise i had to pay. Please have a disclaimer BEFORE you offer a service. This is very misleading.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The numbness following extraction can be because of the nerve injury either while giving injection or while removing the tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a nerve regenerating drug like vitamin B6 and 12. Be careful about the areas which are numb particularly when you consume hot food. This might take days to weeks to recover.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
