It may be getting infected.
Just sayin’.
I had an abscessed tooth and it started out like that too.
Get rid of your Dentist. get the Mercury out of your mouth.
You need an “ Environtmentalist Dentist”, at least that’s what they were called a few years ago.
No Metal!
Percocet 10mg as needed
Chase with one shot of Cointreau or Jaeger
If no schedule II pain meds around.....call dentist and plead
Suck on liquid oragel....copious dabbing
Some say clove oil or swishing an ounce or two of soy sauce around bad tooth sweats the puss out....the pressure of the puss is causing the pain....I yank that temp off too...sounds misplaced
In meantime drink enough hard liquor up to nausea
Aspirin too...or advil.....3-4 times normal dosage
You can even put aspirin on tooth
Your tooth should not be hurting like this.....
You need pain dope and levaquin...don’t was time with weak antibiotics...take the JDAM antibiotic first off....you’ll notice relief in 5-6 hours as the abscess quits festering.....abscess is body’s natural containment reflex.....I had two in my hips from injections the size of eggs...took 3 years to heal after CD&I.....brutal pain level
If this is a very back molar....just pull it for 300 bucks....or else spend 2000-3000 for root canal and crown....you don’t need them unless cracking spare ribs is your thing
Good luck...its always good to keep narcotics and antibiotics around for weekends like this
If you were within a few hours of Nashville I’d help out....I can spare from my WTSHTF kit
