I had three teeth worked on with multiple fillings today and had my mouth open for about 4.5 hours,  not only did it take a lot of numbing medication to numb me because my teeth were so sensitive but after it wore off I have been in severe pain and am having a difficult time swallowing (painful and hard to do)...is this normal?
Hi, thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. After keeping the mouth open for 4-5 hours and dental work on 3 teeth, it is usual to have severe pain a d swallowing difficulty after the anesthesia wanes off. Take broken 400 mg 2 times daily and warm saline gargling to get rid of the pain and inflammation. You may take one sleeping pill like cal pose 5 mg at bedtime, so that you may get up afresh next morning. Hope this answer will serve your purpose. I shall be happy to answer any more queries. Take care. Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam.
