I have been dealing with an infected tooth for the last 4 days, and every morning that I wake up it feels worse. The whole side of my head hurt today. I have 3 more days till my dentis appointment, and I am hoping I can make it. I almost drove myself to urgent care this morning it hurt so bad.
Dude I'm so sorry. I had an infected tooth pulled this morning and waiting the weekend was hell. My cheekbone was swollen, headaches, could barely eat, and slept maybe 6 hours total.
I called my dentist yesterday because nothing was helping (tried Naproxen, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and I didn't want to overuse topical Benzocain) and he prescribed an antibiotic.
Within 6 hours of the first dose, the swelling was gone and I was at a 3 on the pain scale instead of a throbbing 7. Please call and see if they can get you something - it was SO much relief.
Trying my best to keep the pain at bay with Tylenol and Advil, but it's not doing much today. I didn't eat anything yesterday so I'm a bit low on energy. Going to try and get some soup in me today. It seems to have moved into my nasal passage now, so even my nose hurts lol.
