What Is The Treatment For Numbness In The Lips?

I have had a root canal on a tooth - lower left side..... before I had it, I had the swelling and numbness..... was put on an antibiotic, then had the root canal a week ago...... the left side of my lip is still numb from before. Is this normal and what is the cause?
