I have 2 wisdom teeth on my L side that are killing me...I went to the dentist early last week and he said I need antibx for 2 wks and referred me to an oral surgeon.  He was concerned about a space behind the lower tooth.  Pain is getting worse, not better..any suggestions?
Hello, Include taking some anti-inflammatory medication. For severe pain, the combination of one Tylenol and one Advil, taken at regular intervals, can be effective. Consider seeing the oral surgeon as soon as possible. You may need to switch the antibiotic if the one prescribed has not been effective. Rinse the area with warm salt water, continue to practice proper daily dental hygiene and do not let any debris get caught in the lower space. Avoid all irritants. Take vitamin B12 along with good nutrition and keep well HY Chat Doctor.  Avoid chewing on the left side and keep to a softer diet. Thank you for your inquiry.
