There are so many factors which plays part first if you’re not taking any medication secondly if you are taking alcohol moreover everyone reacts differently
Depends on the drug being used, usually between 6-10 hrs
Depends on the type of anesthetic anywhere from one to six or eight hours. Also depends some on where it’s given.
Healthy seniors' response to local anesthetics is very similar to that of younger patients. The duration of local anesthetics depends mostly on the type of local anesthetic which is injected. People who have medical problems which affect nerves, for instance, diabetes, usually have longer duration of numbness from local anesthetics.
