This is weird. I have never heard of anything like this happening before and Im not even sure what happened. My dd(7) went to the dentist and Had three cavities filled and when she got home the place below her mouth a little to the right was swollen and looked like a hive. Just one and then the next day it was still numb she said and still looked like a lone hive. After the next night she woke up it as all scabby and has responded a little to Elidel, which I have because my son has severe Excema. She has never had Excema before but I guess thats what it is. Can you be allergic to Lidocaine, the dentist said that the ingredients in the lidocaine are just the lido and epinephren. Isint that what they give in the epi-pen for allergic reactions to bee stings and whatnot? Isnt that weird to have an allergic reation to something with an allergy medicine in it?
Does this mean she is going to have excema from now on?
Has anyone else ever heard of this?

I don't know about all of that, but I do know that you can get cancer from cancer chemo therapy.
Sounds weird?
Well, for my rheumatism I take methotraxade which is a chemo therapy agent and on the warning it clearly states may cause cancerous growths.
Also I know you can develop allergies to ANYTHING and at ANYTIME in your life.

I doubt that she will have excema from now on, but she may always react to Lidocain in the same way or worse. It's worth mentioning to the dentist.

Also, kids who have excema are more prone to react adversely to vaccines. Especially the CP vax. Just thought you should know.

Could your child possibly have a latex allergy and the rubber gloves caused her skin to react?

Just a thought.

It is very possible to have a lidocaine allergy, usually this means a person will be allergic to all caine drugs.
