My son had two wisdom teeth out today by sedation. He has been drinking water and has had some soup tonight but nothing else since early evening yesterday.He has been taking cocodamol every 4hours and in between that ibuprofen as instructed. But he has started to have pins and needles in both arms. Should we be worried?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain pins and needles in arms can be due to the side effect of sedation medicine or can be due to side effect of the post extraction medicine that you are taking..
You need not to worry as gradually when the effect of the medicine will subside you will start feeling better and the tingling sensations of head will also resolve..
You should take sufficient rest and the medicines as advised..
You will be alright soon..
In case if the symptoms does not subsided even after 3 to 4 days then you need to consult your doctor..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
