Answers:
For tooth pain, ibuprofen works better than tylenol because it's an anti-inflammatory!. That reduces swelling, which is sometimes part of a toothache!. Take 800 mg (usually 4 pills) of Ibuprofen and see if that helps!. You could also try something like orajel, but ibuprofen is your best bet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you can get hold of it oil of cloves is a natural anaesthetic!. Dry the area around the tooth and apply with a cotton bud!. you will probably end up with some on your tongue and the taste is fairly pungent but will subside and it will deaden the painWww@Answer-Health@Com
