<human>: Hi, I recently had a cavity filled on the upper left part of my mouth. Its been two days since the procedure, and I still have sever pain and tenderness in my cheek where Im guessing they put the novacain. I also am getting a burning sensation in my left ear and sore, red swollen tonsil on my left side. Again, its been two days since the procedure. Is this normal?
<bot>: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. It is not normal to have a swollen and painful tonsil after dental work. I will suggest that you return to the doctor for further assessment and management. This could represent tonsillitis that needs to be managed somewhat differently. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.
