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.

Hard to know precisely what your situation is, but if it were an abscess with pus causing the pressure, you might be able to reduce that pressure if you could squeeze some out. Maybe try flossing deep to see if you can rupture or puncture the abscess. Just a shot in the dark. It might be too deep and inaccessible. And the pain might be too great to try. Only you can decide. Orajel as previously suggested is also pretty effective.

Hope it works for you.

I never had any pain med ever put a dent in a bad toothache.

There's some pretty good advice here, just not much of it appropriate for you. Cloves do bring relief for a vital pulp which you almost certainly don't have. Candy can aggravate a vital pulp, which you don't have, but hey you could start on a new cavity and then cloves might help. Be careful of overtaking OTC drugs as they can kill you in high doses. Had a family member die of liver failure from taking tylenol like M&Ms. If you get a fever, more swelling or redness, go to the ER. Things like this have been known to kill folks. Retrograde brain infections and mediastinal infections via fascial planes and spaces. Remember the ER is a possibility. Godspeed.

Thanks

My dentists cocktail they told my wife to have me take prior to seeing them the next day.

Agree.

Btdt

Only cure is have the mutha fugger yanked.
If it is erupting outta socket and you can feel a big old bump in the gum line around it

Pop that mutha fugga swollen bump by pressing on it with your finger as hard as you can and as fast as you can.
You better get it the 1st or 2nd try
Cause if ya think it hurts now and it dont pop and drain
You pain will be exquisite....
Legendary ...
Unforgetable.....

Listen to OT

He is a dentist after all👍

Dentist hunting bud told us about one of his patients pulled several of her teeth with a pair of catfish skinners and a bottle of Jack Black. Cedar chopper chick from up Llano county.

I have!!! Dunno what hell it was but got it from sis in law. In didn’t give a schidt about anything!! Man it was some good stuff!!! And I was hurtin’ baaaaaad!

😂😂😂
Just went through this sh*t.

Did Mel Brooks write this for ya?

My uncle had a good remedy for that . He said to pour and rub some kerosene on your legs.
Then light it off.
Said it worked wonders with chiggers too.

Almost made me pee my pants. ;-{>8

If you was my hometown bud, I'd hook you up with some gooooooood pain pills.


Ask renegade, I let him ride Space Mountain last couple of rotten teeth he had.

😄😄

Toothaches sound unpleasant.

Yep.
Got me thru 2 of em till I could get em yanked.
Have lost 4 molars and one lower front to periodontal disease since 2010.
Got a denture tooth for the front one when I need to be presentable
And not look like a jackolantern.
It ain't fun when one erupts ......
Draining it is the only relief till ya can get into the dentist.
It takes some desperation to drain one for pain relief.
Last one pulled was about 3 week ago.
Thing about slumlords pharmacy is the stuff kills pain.
But I sleep about 2 hrs ,wake and toss and turn.
And they make me feel mean as fugg also.
Been losing a tooth about every 2 yrs.
Thing that kills me about it is I am a brushing and flossing nazi at least twice a day since I was a kid.

Yes sir mamas bringing me a couple of something better than aspirin. As long as I can sleep alright and get to the dentist in the morning I'll be alright.
