I have 2 severe toothaches, what can I take?!


Question:

I have 2 severe toothaches, what can I take?

I beleive its my mollers that are causing the pain and throbbing, from the top and bottom. I would normally take the gel caines to help numb the pain, and then it would just go away and not hurt. But now, those just don't help. I can't see a dentist till after the holiday weekend. What can anyone sugguest to help me easy the pain and help me get some sleep. The pain feel like someone hit me so hard on my face that it hurts from my mouth all the way to my ear. I am not able to swallow any pills at all, I can crush them if needed.


Answers:

The only thing I can think of is, if it is indeed your tooth, and not gums, or your jaw, then most toothaches come from infection, believe it or not. Go to your local ER, or call your family doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics (keflex or something like that). Within the first 12 hours you should notice the pain subsiding, if it is indeed an infection. The last time I had a toothache, I got prescribed antibiotics and pain pills,a nd i never even took the pain pills, cause the antibiotics healed the infection and stopped the pain. Hope this helps!
