Anesthetic to relieve pain?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says: I experienced tooth pain during the day in Ramadan, which required me to go to the hospital. The treating doctor filled the tooth, and before the filling, he indicated the necessity of giving a pain-relief injection. He gave the injection. Is my fast valid? Knowing that no blood came out of me at that time.

Answer:
Your fast is valid, if Allah wills. Treating the tooth, extracting it, or giving it an injection to anesthetize it and relieve the pain, none of this affects the fast, as long as you did not intentionally swallow any of the substances. So as long as you were careful and none of the medicinal substances reached your throat, your fast is valid, if Allah wills. There is no harm if the fasting person treats his tooth or has it extracted, and even if blood comes out of it, this does not affect the fast. Yes.
