Question:
I am in excrutiating pain! My root is exposed and there is an abcess(it is infected) I have been up for 2 nights and I am in SO much pain I am gonna climb the walls. I went to the doctor today and she took an x-ray and said there is an abcess. She made an appointment for me to go to the endodontist next Thursday.
She gave me penicillin and Ibuprofin(800 mg.). I have been taking it all day and neither are helping at all. I even had some leftover Vicatin and I took those and still horrible pain. I can't eat, sleep and I am gonna go crazy. I don't think I can wait a week without dying, but they can't get me in any sooner.
Wait else can I do to stop the pain?? Also, so I have to wait till next week so that I am done with the antibiotics?? Please help....I am in SO much pain. Visitor from IL
Answer:
Ask your dentist to extirpate the nerve in your tooth. The experience will
be extremely painful due to the fact its a hot tooth. Once she has cleaned
out your nerve you will feel 100% relief.
The medication she gave you takes at least 2-3 days to combat the area to
make it bearable.
