Suspected Local Anesthetic Allergy of a Child: A Case Report

Abstract

In dental practice, a certain number of patients complain of various symptoms after injection of local anesthetics. However, especially in children who cannot express their symptoms properly, a correct diagnosis of local anesthetic allergy is difficult. Here is a case of a boy with suspected local anesthetic allergy. We looked for an alternative local anesthetic on the basis of the medical history and the results of allergy tests.
