Patient's question:
Got my wisdom tooth pulled while breastfeeding, local anesthesia. It was done around 10:30 this morning! By 3:00 PM, I had mostly recovered my sense of touch. My child is 14 months old. Can I breastfeed now?Doctor's answer:
Dear inquirer,Hello, I’m glad to help you clarify your doubts. The clearance rate of anesthesia is very high, and local anesthesia is relatively safer compared to general anesthesia. At this time, the anesthetic should have been almost completely metabolized. Personally, I believe it is safe to breastfeed the child. Additionally, at this age, the breastfeeding time may be shorter, and the child can also drink water. It is recommended to pay attention to your diet to avoid infection. I hope my explanation helps you.
