    Hi there, two things, what antibiotic are you on? You may need to switch antibiotics if the one you are on isnt working. I have been fighting an infection in the tooth for over a week but I had to switch to clindamyacin before I saw improvement. 

    And the other thing is, the most effective pain relievers I have found is tylenol and advil taken together. I tried to space them to every 6 hours but sometimes I had to fill in with some extra advil because the pain is so intense. Also cold reallllly helps..a bag of frozen peas was my best friend for a few days. I have turmeric tea I drink but I didnt notice that it did much.
