Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain redness on face can be a side effect of the local anaesthesia while can also be due to side effect of the medication that you are taking to relieve pain..
Headache can be radiating pain from the extraction site..

I would suggest you to continue taking the medication but in case if the symptoms exaggerate you need to consult your dentist and get evaluated and he can change your medication to prevent the allergic symptoms..

As of now continue taking the medication and drink plenty of water..
Do cool compresses over the face..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
