Been killing me for 3 weeks. Went dentist they sent me to hospital who sent me back to dentist. Still agony but can't get it fixed because its infected now which it wasn't when I went originally. So got to take antibiotics for a week. Until then I've got to put up with pain. Just tried for 30 mins to get it out myself but its a strong one and the jaw will not let it come out I think I'm going to go insane!!!!!!!!!!!
Paracetamol 2 four times a day, ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day, clove oil. About the best you can do. Or substitute Co-codamol for the paracetamol if it's really bad
Do you want me to take a look ? Oh Pete man i feel your pain get back down and tell them it is killing you and you want something done now ! if it is any consolation i have just been to the dentist all brave and ready to part with more cash only to find out my appointment is tomorrow :-[ :-[
keep rinsing with warm very salty water that helps too, or hot if you can bare it it draws infection out
Yes what Barney says rinse with salt , when the antibiotics kick in the pain will subside , you must still get the tooth sorted though Pete , don't do what i did and think it is ok because the pain was gone
if you can chew raw garlic or onion too it will attract all the germs ,one of the reasons not to leave them raw in your fridge too.
I feel your pain, I had 5 teeth pulled 18 months ago and was told i would get an apointment for under 3 months time to have some fillings done! 3 months 18 months later i got back in to have the fillings done but one had gone to far and they had to pull it out Last time i had 6 stitches for 5 teeth this time ive got 3 stitches for one tooth out and it smarts a little! Prob my own fault for not going to a dentist for 15 ish years but they scare me hence why i had to be knocked out cold so the man with the drill didnt get hurt To make the pain worse the stiches are now working lose and it is really annoying chewing string Tooth ache is real pain, i would rather have pain (almost) any where else
