I recently had a root canal treatment done on my tooth. The dentist numbed me alot. I was experiencing headaches and i couldnt open my mouth very wide. The area where he gave me the shots was very sore. I happened to feel the inside of my cheek and it felt like i had a lot of knots compared to the other cheek so i rubbed them out. My cheek area is still sore and its a little swollen. Ive never experienced this before just wondering what the dentist did.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the pain in the cheek at the site of injection will stay for some days...the soreness in the cheek could be secondary to cheek biting after anesthesia.the radiating pain to head could be because of opening the mouth wide for long time...take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. Any trauma to the nerve during injecting local anesthesia may cause persisting numbness.you can take multivitamin which helps in nerve regeneration... I hope my answer will help you. Take care...
