Answers:
I've recently gone through this, i could not sleep because it was so bad, i cried from the pain, and i literally could not open my mouth enough to eat, i literally drank protein shakes, which also hurt because they were too cold (but i had to get some food in me)

DO not use a store product like ambesol or origel, those can cause inflammation and only cause you more pain when the numbing is over!. When i was finally able to go to the dentist he told me that if i had taken ADVIL i could have suffered from less pain!. Advil is ANTIflammatory so it stops the pain from the swelling of the infection in your gums/tooth/jaw etc!.

Once you can go to the dentist they have a prescription they can give you to help the pain more (and ask for a Novocaine shot) thats why i did which also helped for a few hours before i had to take the medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
