2days without eating, worried

:( i have a toothache situation :/ I have 2 days without eating solid foods, just juice and water, and 3 days without sleeping... I can barely talk or open my mouth, my gums are swollen, my wisdom teeth is coming out and it hurts a lot, I tried Tylenol, like 8 times a day and its not working, I tried orajel and it just hurts a lil bit more... I have pus coming out of my gums, I was bleeding yesterday... I have to wait until tomorrow to see the dentist... and I just worried because I feel like my child is hungry and I can't give him nothing but juice :( today will be day number 3 and my baby is not eating well :( I'm 23+5 and this is driving me crazy...

Stick to the vitamins! You can also do meal replacement or protein shakes. Not thrilling, I know,  but liquid food is about the only option.

Ive Been the same way except that i was in the hospital for two days without eating since my stomach couldnt hold anything down, im still in all liquid diet but doc said to take prenatal pills since im not eating as much.  Takes the worry out of the way.

Try warm broth until you see the dentist you can add veggies and herbs to add some flavor and then strain them out. The warmth of the broth might ease some pain too!

Im a dental assistant. What I recomend is that you go to urgent care get some antibiotics and a clearance letter from a doctor. That letter has to let the dentist know what kind of anesthetic to use and if its ok to take an xray. Some dentist won't see you until you have that form. Also its better to have those antibiotics in your system before the infection spreads. Most likely you'll need an extraction (pull the tooth out) Good luck
