hi my boyfriend went to the dentist because his two bottom teeth were bothering him. when he went he told the dentist that he thought he had an infection before they did anything the doctor said he didnt see any swelling but everyone else did. he went ahead and drilled the two teeth and filled them, now his lower lip still goes numb from time to time and his mouth sometimes feels like it on fire along with constant pain.  It has been nearly three days since his visit to the dentist. The same night as his visit at the dentist, we went to the hospital because of the symptoms, and they prescribed him ibuprofen, vicodin, and penicillin. None of the meds seem to be working. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Have you taken a local anesthesia at the time of tooth filling? If there is presence of constant pain, I suppose that there may be presence of infection along the Chat Doctor. I would encourage you to visit to the concerned Dentist and get an IOWA x-ray of the region, if required Root canal treatment of the affected tooth can be done. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your Dentist. Take lukewarm saline rinses to give a soothing effect. Start with multivitamin supplements. At home take balanced diet avoid eating of hot and spicy foodstuffs and
