Came on hard yesterday afternoon and now in extreme agony with an appt tomorrow (hopefully) with the dentist (100kms away). Have amoxcillin as an antibiotic and Panadeine Extra ( 500mg Paracetemol & 15mg Codene Phosphate). Tried salt, salted water, garlic, nips of whisky, cloves - nothing is working. On my knees with pain. Any suggestions apart from pulling the thing out with plyers? I had this 15 years ago and the memories I had were that it was excruciating (how easy we forget). It's the worst possible pain apart from childbirth apparently, but I just cannot imagine anything worse than this - it's the kind of thing that drives you mental. No sleep, throbbing head ache. No real swelling as of yet. The pain. If I had ongoign pain like this forever, that was untreatable, I would somehow end my life. Thankfully, it'll all be over soon with the bill to match I expect.
I looked after my teeth so I thought.
Any help out there that will help get through the next 24 hours?
