No whiskey just clove candy which is helping a little sort off. Any ideas besides cutting my head off on the bandsaw?


Cocktail time. Take 500 mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and 600 mg of ibuprofen (Advil) together. Do not take this more than 3x per day w/o talking to your doc. You can't safely exceed this amount of either one, but since one is metabolized by the liver, one by the kidneys, you can take them together and gain effectiveness. No alcohol with this.

Similar to my dentists cocktail. I’ll have to get home and post exact amounts.

You need antibiotics to kill the infection.

Keeping ice water continually refreshed in the gum helped me I’ve time. Dentist the next day said the ice water reduced the swelling which in turn relieves pressure on the nerve.
