Local Anasthetic and flying

Just need a minor op under local (probably lignocaine) and want to know where I can find out about the legality of flying afterwards....

Tried a search for lists of dos and don'ts but the UK CAA usefully states that one is to seek advice of their local aviation medic AND airline for all specific enquiries.

Technically that would include whether I can take Alka-seltzer for a hangover during my holidays.

Surely I must be misinformed on that, my CAA Doc wont want me calling about all the niff naff and trivia (or wont want to give advice regularly for free anyway) - is there a list of approved self-medication / treatments that don't have to be performed by a CAA doctor?
