What can i do to get rid of an infection inside your cheek from a numbing shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See the dentist: I worry you might have had a complication from some dental work-so I would definitely call the dentist for an immediate evaluation. Hopefully it is just something minor, that could be treated with local therapy or a short course of antibiotics. I would not leave it though, since it sounds like things have NOT gotten better on their own. If there's no dentist around, an Urgent Care center is OK too
