I need some pain relief fast.. please help | Emergency dentist austin.
Question by Amy Clark: I will need some discomfort relief rapidly.. please assist?
I had a enormous cavity that I left “un-fixed” for about 2 years. A few months ago right after not becoming able to deal with the discomfort anymore- I went in and had it fixed. The dentist stated it wasn’t abscessed or anything- so he just did a filling. (Like half my tooth was missing)
Anyways- right after that it was fine… no discomfort- nothing. Nevertheless about 2 weeks ago I started to get dull discomfort in the tooth. But on Friday night it got genuinely poor. Just horrible pains- worse than prior to I had it fixed. The dentist told me, if abscessed or one thing that the pain would be 10x worse than prior to and then I would will need a root canal.
So my question is. I gave birth to my 3rd child on Nov 14- and had some 800mg IBuprofin left from the discomfort meds they gave me for following my c-section. I have been taking them every single 6 hours since friday night when the pain got poor- but the pain is still horrible- It feels like the medicine is not even performing Something. The dentist does not have an emergency quantity or anything- so I cannot call until Monday and who knows if I can get in Monday or I may have to wait a couple of more days. What the heck can I do for some discomfort relief- the discomfort is just unbearable. However it goes in “waves”- I can go 2 hours with no discomfort and BAM out of nowhere- just horrible discomfort- all shooting up the side of my face behind my eye and in my cheek bone etc.. then it lasts 30 minutes or so and goes away. At times I get relief for 10 minutes and other times it is a few hours.
Can anybody help me or tell me something else I can do for some discomfort relief? This is awful!

I don’t know if this will work, but try this. I feel on the very same side as the tooth clip a clothespin to your earlobe. If that does not work try the other side. I tried it once and it seemed to work.

A friend recently had a similar issue… She went to the emergency room and they gave her a shot in the mouth (something like Novocaine I would imagine) and a few painkillers. It helped until she could get into the dentist.

I worked in the ER a little before moving to surgery at our local hospital…. I DO KNOW THAT if you go to the Emergency room, they will give you some pain medicine. Just be sure that you let them know that you have been taking something, tell them what it is, and be sure to let them know you haven’t had any relief. OUr ER doctors would often prescribe Loratab and/or another pain medicine until you can see your dentist…Hope this helps and gives you some hope.

put an ice cube in the palm of youre hand on the side where the pain is then get yourself to an emergency room now they have to see you and you will most likely getan antibiotic and a powerful analgesic
