Can Lidocaine Allergy Side Effects Cause Throbbing Pain In Mouth And Gums?

Hello, I've been told that I am allergic to lidocaine. When I had a shot of lidocaine mixed with cortisone, my skin turned red and very warm. I'm going to have oral sugery in a few weeks and I told my doctor about my reaction; so he decided to give me a couple of lidocaine shots in my mouth to see if I had any kind of reaction. Well I didn't right then, but a few hours later, my mouth was throbbing and it felt as if all my teeth were going to fall off! Is this normal? Should I ask to be completely put under for oral sugery? As if now the plan is to use lidocaine shots and laughing gas....

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Take an antiallergic drug under the prescription of your Physician.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Also take a painkiller.

Take care!
