benj005 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) It first started in New Jersey and has just progressed since I've been in Thailand. I went to the hospital tonite and got an injection, penicillin, and painkillers. None of it has worked as I'm in serious pain. I can't even sleep. I'm hanging off the side of the bed, and I'm gurgling my mouth with warm water ever 5 minutes. This is my only relief. The pain shoots right thru jaw if I lay my head down. Going right to the dentist tomorrow. In the meantime are there any home remedies for the pain? That is abscessed tooth.

NeverSure Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The old home remedy is to swish around the tooth with warm salt and garlic water. I've never tried it. I did find that Advil did the trick when I was in that situation. Advil helps relieve pain and also reduces swelling. It's the swelling that's causing the pain. Advil is also known as Ibuprofen and I don't know what else as a generic. I wish you well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not take this on an empty stomach. If you can cocktail codeine the pain-killing effects will multiply. I carry Aussy brand - Nurafen Plus. Topically you can apply pharmacy products usually containing a local anesthetic such as Lignocaine. Get very drunk...? Good luck - Teeth can be so painful.

lopburi3 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Too late now, and you might not have in home, but for nerve pain from cavity oil of clove is a lifesaver and may be what dentist provides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_of_cloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
