Is It Normal To Get Blisters After Novocaine Was Injected Into The Mouth?
I had dental work done a week ago and several shots of novocaine were injected into the roof of my mouth, it's still so sore and blistery I can't eat or even my tongue touching it is severely uncomfortable! It's getting worse instead of better, even air hitting it hurts! is this normal?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the ulceration could be because of the post anesthetic trauma when your palate was numb. or it can be secondary to herpetic infection. consult your oral physician and get it ruled out. you can use topica anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. take soft diet do not eat spicy food till the lesions heal. do saline gargling
