Lightbulb I would wonder...

for how long a time period you felt these sensations?

Just at the beginning, or did they last for many minutes or an hour?

Often when one applies a lidocaine or benzocaine topical, there is a temporary sting....then the numbness.

When I put the Lidoderm patches that I use sometimes for nerve pain, for PN, I get extreme cold, and then a temporary discomfort, then nothing. Then they start to work within an hour.

When I put Benzocaine on a cold sore in the mouth, it will throb like the dickens when it wears off. So sometimes the nerves get over stimulated or irritated. But I doubt the effect you are having is an allergy. You'd get some local effect in the mouth, if it were.

I guess it will remain a puzzle until you find an answer.
