Question:
One my wisdom teeth is KILLING me, the area is swollen and i can't bite down, what should i do?
I went to the dentist yesterday and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow morning. But i woke up this morning and its worse than it was the past 3 days. Yesterday i couldn't open my mouth all the way, and today i can't bite down. What the hell should i do? What about eating? I figure i should use warm salt water...eat apple sauce and soup....and take ibprofin or aspirin. Any other suggestions until i go in tomorrow? This is tortrue. I woke up and when i found out i couldn't bite down because of the swelling...i started crying. I feel so helpless and in pain. Anybody have any advice to reduce the swelling?
Answers:
Instant cure for dental pain:
Dip your clean finger into the best bourbon or whiskey in the house. (Or use a Q-tip.) Without touching your tongue, rub it on the sore spot.
That only puts literally one drop of booze in your body, and can be repeated dozens of times before you feel any effect. It's safe for teething babies, which is how I know about it.
That plus ibuprofen should get you through the day. Ask for soft foods at dinner--pasta's always good.
If it's really unbearable, call the dentist and ask for enough painkiller to hold you until your appointment.
