Swelling In The Face After Tooth Extraction. Taking Lidocaine. Feeling Body Tremors At Night. Reason?
when I had a tooth extracted, the lidocaine the OS gave me made my face swell immediately. it was before the extraction. I was scared but he went through with the extraction anyway. The swelling went down within a few days. It never turned black or blue, but it felt very rubbery for days. what was this? I also experienced full body tremors at night while I was sleeping. It would wake me right out of my sleep.

Hello,
The swelling may be due to the overdose of local anaesthetic solution injected.
I would advice you to take antibiotics-analgesics complete course.
Apply cold packs on the affected area.
Warm saline and betadine gargle may help.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Take rest for another 5-6 days.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
If synptoms persists,visit a dentist.
Hope this helps.
