there is not set amount. the amount of local anesthesia (lidocaine) that is used depends on the location of the injury (you did not say where the injury was located) the depth of the laceration (i am assuming this was a cut - you did not say) and the skill of the clinician. some people use more and inject it in a wide area; some use less and only inject it where the sutures will be placed. some children scream even if they don't feel a thing since they are absolutely frightened but it is possible for him to feel something if not enough time elapsed to allow the anesthesia to take effect (only a few minutes). without knowing the details this is the best i can do to answer your question.
how many cc'sof a local anesthetic should a 1 yr old get and how long for it to take affect. my son is 1 and they gave him 1 cc but ony waited less than to just over a minute for it to take affect is this normal or did the guy just not know what he was doing. my son was screaming a lot as if he felt what was going on. i just want to make sure he got the -best care and that they didn't hurt hi more than he already was.
