Paining And Burning Sensation On Left Side Of Tongue And Gums, Had Root Canal Done. Taken Amoxicillin. Could This Be Shingles?
Six months ago I had dental work done on my back teeth on the left side. Since then the left side of my tongue and the gums at the back have been burning and painful. I've had root canals on those teeth and last week I had one of them pulled because the pain and burning continues. I've been on Amoxicillin twice. The left side of my face almost feels like I've had a stroke. I have no rash but could this be shingles.

Paining And Burning Sensation On Left Side Of Tongue And Gums, Had Root Canal Done. Taken Amoxicillin. Could This Be Shingles?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Pain post root canal treatment is either due to re-infection or due to incomplete rct procedure undergone. Since the tooth has undergone extraction,the burning sensation as well as pain will subside gradually. Meanwhile take complete course of antibiotics prescribed. Swish with warm saline frequently. Maintain oral hygiene well. Take care.
