Same issue here. I've never had any problems before. After the injections toward the front gum area, I felt the nostril on that side feel plugged up. After leaving I was sneezing uncontrollably, constantly blowing my nose, catching snot running down as I couldn't feel it LOL, and was taking so many allergy pills to make it dry up. That was Thursday and it finally subsided by Sunday, however, getting the left side tomorrow (Monday), so I will definitely be addressing the issue and concern. Nostril feels a little dry like a slight sore, gonna try running the humidifier to see if that helps. Will update after my appt, if there's anything to update!

Update: from my previous post yesterday, I talked with the dentist today and injections in the anterior (front) portion of the mouth can cause some irritation to the sinus cavities. Although I've never had an issue before, it can happen. I had the same procedure with injections today on the opposite side and had no issues. As long as your symptoms subside in 2-3 days you should be okay, if they persist, contact your dental office.

Same thing happened to me today! I have sneezed about 40 times in the last 6 hours and runny nose. I also had shot in the gum below upper lip ... felt like the needle went right into my nose !

So glad I found this thread. I just had a root canal yesterday and started sneezing and stuffy runny nose right after they finished. When the dentist injected the anesthetic, it felt like a hot flood up my cheek to my eye. Figured I was imagining the connection. Glad I'm not the only one. Will mention it to my dentist when I go in for the permanent filling in two days.

I had novacaine shots yesterday for work on my upper front teeth. When I got home, my nose ran and is still running today. Yesterday I sneezed. Today I am sneezing occasionally, but the nose continues to run. Will this end?

Same here. I had to have 3 shots novocaine on the bottom (hate that with a sore jaw for days) and I started sneezing while I was scheduling my next appointment. I'm sneezing 5/6 at a time with a runny nose. I took allergy medication but it doesn't help. It's been hours and no let-up, yet.

Just had a dental procedure done too. 2 shots of Novacaine to my upper gums. About an hour later... sneezing, runny nose, and cold like symptoms. Glad I’m not the only one! 2 days out and I’m still experiencing this.

I went to the dentist to get fillings on my front left tooth, and others on the left side. (Top). After they injected the novaciane they waited a few minutes. And my nose went numb. So when they came back he asked if I was numb. So I told them yes, but so was my nose. And he said that was “normal” that was around 9:45am. I left by 11. By 2pm I was feeling full on cold symptoms. Stuffy/runny nose. Sneezing. Watery eyes. Headache. Then I found this thread. Yay.

I’m looking around to find answers to this very question and this came up. I just left the dentist a couple hours ago after four shots on the right side and now my right eye is watering and my nose is numb, stuffy, and the right side pouring snot.

I had novacaine which I rarely have to endure today. Had an attack of sneezing before leaving the office. Now my nose and eye on that side is running and I feel that twice like I have to sneeze every time I breath in through my nose. Definitely not coincidental...

Also happening to me. Went to the dentist for a deep cleaning. Received 6 injections. As soon as it wore off I instantly got stuffy. It’s been 26 hours , no fever or sore throat just a sneezy stuffy nose.
