I have strep throat, dead taste buds, and irritated wisdom teeth plus braces!?!
Question: Well i have had strep throat for about 4 days went to the doctor got the prescripted amoxicillin(penicillin). My Throat soreness is going away thankfully.. and now the swelling of my tongue and lips have caused my braces i guess to rub against my tongue and lip causing canker sores on my lower lip and a dead taste bud on my tongue... on top of that my lower wisdom teeth are super irritated . Causing me to stop eating and drinking as much.... Is there anything i can do to relieve my tongue and wisdom teeth soon ?

I have had the same problem. Strep and braces. It hurts. I feel your pain. Some cold water or ice will relieve your tongue, and ambesol should take care of your wisdom teeth for a little at a time. Use some of that cushion goupe on your braces to keep them from rubbing on your cheeks. You can get it from your orthidontist. I always keep some just in case my braces give me a cut. Eventually you will want your wisdom teeth removed if you did'nt know that already. Feel better!
sorry, mate. sounds painful
try asprin and red bull- caffiene makes painkillers stronger
All I can say is---I'm Sorry--doesn't sound like fun
The pharmacy section of your store should have some gum soothing medications that are used for infants. They can really help with any mouth pain. It will get you through the rough times, until you can get to the dentist.
Gargle with salt & water (warmer than luke warm) then take excederin
