Ok so I ended up taking 4 shots of whiskey last night. Ive never ever been a drinker so I passed straight out, and the pain seemed to stop for awhile. Now Im back up and hurting soooooo bad. Its daytime and I have my kids so shots of whiskey not an option...been taking Ibuprofen, alevee orajel nothing seems to help. Ive been trying desperately to get into a dentist, havent been able to so far. Completely broke and no insurance ughhhhhhh
800mg of advil and salt water will help you fast I have a sleep dentist and he gave me some good addvice and narcotics are good but not a fix all but you will need a dentist is the tooth is messed up..
First call the dentist. You need to have something done with that tooth. Tell the dentist NO narcotics. Let us know how you are.
HEY GIRL sorry your feeling tooth pain abasol or orajel will get you threw the night call around if you look long and hard 40bucks with get a tooth pulled........Gnarly
You really need antibiotics. I think you should do some research on ketoprofen (it used to be available over the counter as Orudis) It is non narcotic anti-inflamitory and I had a dentist prescribe it for me and it worked miracles. That same dentist actually let me come back the day after I had a tooth pulled and injected me with novacane again. That may be sound like a strange option, but if you don't want to take pills and have a good relationship with your dentist he/she may be willing to do that.
perchance is right, an infection that got into the bloodstream could be fatal! try the ibuprofen, it is an anti-inflammatory (tylenol isn't) and is what is generally prescribed by dentists when not giving a narcotic. couldn't hurt to try, could it?
Wanted to add that the infection also traveled to my sinus area. I wish I would have gone to ER earlier. The infection can travel to your brain and kill you according to the ER doctor.
Go to The ER. You need antibiotics. I am having teeth problems right now as well and just went through detox. On day 15 sober from opiates. I went to the ER and they gave me Midol and Amoxicilan. Don't wait go now. You won't be able to get rid of the pain.
And you are risking a bad infection the longer u wait.
The relief will come when the tooth is fixed. Or pulled.
Im soooo scared to call the dentist because I know they will prescribe me narotics and I know it will hurt like he!! Soooo I just keep putting it offf but OMG Im in sooo much pain now, but will it be worseafter I get it pulled? And wont I need something stronger for pain? Im taking tylenol and aleve and using orajel...and it still hurts like ahhhhhhhhhhhhh....what else can I do???
Until you can get to the dentist, take 800mg ibuprofen (4 tabs OTC) and gargle with some warm salt water. This really does help! So sorry for your pain, there is NOTHING worse than a toothache! :(
OMG tiger! You know what you have to do. Call a dentist. Don't put it off another day.
You're suffering unnecessarily. Call the dentist!!
