I need help with a toothache?!
Question:
I need help with a toothache?
My tooth hurts really bad and is so swollen I can't close my mouth.I made an app. with my dentist but he can't see me for a while and I've been popping tylenol left and right with no results.Orajel isn't even working.I think I may die from this.The only at home solution I can find is cloves or clove oil and I don't have either.Does anyone know what else I can try before I pass out from pain?
Answers:
Your situation is an emergency and you need care pronto. Go to a hospital ER, a dental school, or a private dentist who can see you on an emergency basis. At the very least they may give you an Rx of antibiotics to bring the infection under control and some stronger pain meds.
Do NOT put a hot pack on your swelling-- A hot pack will just increase circulation in the area and make the swelling worse.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
