tooth infected, any suggestions?

I always just take a nip of brandy and let it soak on the sore tooth,...Probably not the best idea in a truck......lol..

 

I'll keep that one in mind for at home. You definitely don't want to do that in a truck though! That means I would actually have to go buy brandy though.

 

Trust me,...It works!!!.......When I was little my parent used to soak a cotton ball with brandy and stick it between the sore tooth and check...And they wonder why I like brandy as a adult.....lol..

 

I recall having heard that as a way of dealing with teething years ago. Now days, that would get a person in trouble. I'll bet just about any alcohol would numb things up good! I just wish I could come up with something that would work for sciatic problems besides stretches and muscle relaxers.

 

I'm certain I got that treatment as a baby.....lmao......

 

I had a bad root canal some years ago. the Dr who redid it was very good. She told me to take up to 5 Advil or Ibuprofen if I needed to every 4 or 5 hours. Normally 3 or 4 will make it manageable. Sorry to hear that you are suffering. Teeth and ribs can make those tears run down anyones cheeks. Give it a try. It is legal too.

 

a few months back i got a toothache in 2 different spots. i took handfulls of aleve, tylenol and every other OTC pain reliever out there till my stomach was screwed up. NOTHING even slightly curbed the pain!!!!
the pain was so bad i couldn't sleep. finally i deduced that they were infected. bought a bottle of listerine and used it every few hours, within a day or so the pain was gone

 

I have a tooth that gives me trouble every so often. Double dose of the antibiotic to get the level up in your system quick. Usually within 12 hours its feeling a lot better. The Tea Bag and Listerine tricks work pretty well, especially the listerine if you're bleeding.

 

Sorry your having to go thru this..Use all of the idea's posted and keep taking the antibiotics.The infection has to be gone or the dentist won't pull it...at least mine won't ...Good luck !!!

 

yep, even if you have been using AB's and listerine for 2 weeks!!
