What Causes A Swollen And Numb Tongue After Anesthesia During Dental Work?
My son had some minor dental work done earlier this week, which required that his mouth be deadened. It has been several days and he is still complaining that his tongue feels numb and swollen. Did he have an allergic reaction to the medication the dentist used? It doesn't look swollen or discolored.

Thanks for using Health care Magic.
Read your query .
The signs which you have mentioned related to one his nerve has got numb while they have given anesthesia. It may take a few days for it to come back to normal.
If he is very much concerned , I advise him to get a check up done with the dentist.
Do saline gargling for a while.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks and warm regards.
