Got em.

Half my face is numb, feels like an ice pick is in my ear, a fish hook in my throat, my headache is devastating, etc.

Laying in a dark room.

Tooth comes out Friday...

Could be worse.... I’m a single white male. Thank God I’m not pregnant...

I know. Mine wind up going from my jaw to just short of the center of my head via a route past the ear.

Heat will draw more blood to the area. Cold may offer some relief.

I also have a tactic where I swish (2-4 seconds) hot or cold water over the bad tooth. Surprisingly, when you’ve narrowed it down to which is better, that may give you thirty seconds of relief in between swishes.

One will make it worse. The opposite should help.

Sometimes making it worse for a few seconds, causes relative relief for thirty seconds or so. Then repeat.

None of this may work for you, but I hope some of it does.

Best wishes.

I will tell you, when I have pain in my eye cavities (sinus area), looking at a screen can make it worse.

Take care.
