Post-Op Frenectomy Care??

Post-Op Frenectomy Care??

I just had a lower labial frenectomy done by laser...and they never gave me a post-op care sheet. I just have a gaping hole where they cut the frenum (not stitched, but not bleeding), and it didn't hurt too much until I ate some pasta with tomato sauce. This was almost 2 hours ago and it still hurts like hell!! But I don't know if I can brush, what to swish with, etc...what not to eat...I'm totally freaked out, I'm going to take the pain medication they gave me but I really feel it just needs to be cleaned out. I've been rinsing with water but it's only hurting worse and worse.

Any tips??
