Hey Ailleen.
Welcome to the forum.

In your situation, for immediate pain relief use some clove oil.
After this, try some oil pulling with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
(You will feel much better)
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is antimicrobial, antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal and antiprotozoic.
Do a search for oil pulling
and for more info on coconut oil benefits go to the coconut
research website.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like you need an antibiotic, and even some vicoden or something. I'm sure being pregnant limits your options for pain control, and maybe even the antibotics. The doctor, or dentist who did the extraction should have given you antibiotics and pain medication if they were needed. I'd call whoever extracted your tooth and find out if pain medication and/or antibiotics are warranted. If it's decided that they are not needed, and your still in pain, then call your primary care doctor and explain your situation.
