From experience.......





It will help if you trade off taking tylenol, then 4 to 6 hours later take advil, then 4 to 6 hours later take the tylenol again ,,, and keep trading off like that.





Rinse every hour with warm salt water, or 1 part of peroxide and 5 parts water and rinse with that .





I've heard that if you wet a tea bag and set it on the area it will help.., and if you smoke, don't! The sucking action of the mouth like smoking or drinking out of a straw will make it really worse.








Good luck!!

Reply:Use anbesol or oragel on the tooth. Also take some ibuprofen or naproxen for the pain. Cloves are good to use too.

Reply:anbesol can help you for few mins, or put ice to ease the bump


take Advil, it's the best medicine I had for tooth pain, but it takes 15 to 20 mins to get affective, and you need to take every 4 hours to keep the pain away. and be careful, don't over take it.
Reply:I would just pul that toth out, i always yused 2 get tooth aches but i ended up pulling out all of my teath so , my problum is solved
Reply:Take 4 Ibuprofren every 4-6 hours along with the oragel or ambesol.
Reply:I feel your pain - I just went through a similar experience that ended with a root canal. All I did was take Motrin every 2-4 hours and avoid chewing on that side. Sorry about your tooth...good luck.
Reply:You probably have an infection. I suggest you boil water with enough salt, bring that to a boil and let the water cool down alittle. Make sure it's warm enough where you can tolerate it in your mouth. Rinse and you will feel 100% better!! Hope you feel better.
Reply:Call the dentist. If you are in a lot of pain ask for a prescription for some pain pills. They did it for me they should do it for you.
Reply:Take Advil or Tylenol, or Anbesol can also be helpful, but I don't like it, because it tastes icky.
Reply:Go get some of that Ambesol that you can rub on them!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Get to the drug store for some "Anbusol" and rub that in
