The dentist prescribed me Amoxocillin anti biotic for the infection but to be honest whenever I have had them for chest I infections they have never really worked! :-(
Painkiller wise I have been alternating ibruprofren with paracetamol, which don't seem to be even taking the edge off the pain! :-(
I have some co-drydomol from when I hurt my back but they just make me too spaced out! :-( Really struggling with the pain to be honest! Is there anything else worth me trying?? Xxx

Hugs huni. Speaking as an ex-dental receptionist, and a carer, make sure you keep takin the A/Bs or the full course-even if you think they're not working, or that they've fixed it. Until the infection is cleared, the dentist won't be able to do any more treatment, as anaesthetic won't work if there is an infection. Like the others have said, use a cold pack if it helps. Fingers crossed its sorted soon xxxx

I used iced water held in my mouth till in got warm then swallowed and took some more it could help a bit as the pain comes from pressure and cold reduces pressure a bit. Hard to keep up but it could help you get off to sleep maybe and hopefully Ab's will kick in shortly. (Hugs)

you could try taking the brufen and paracetamol at the same time, every 4 hours (no more than 4 times a day)
1g of parracetamol and 400mg of brufen, taking them together exacebates thier effects research has shown
maybe take the codyramol before bed to help you sleep ( remember it contains paracetamol so counts in the 8 tablets a day rule )
antibiotics should take effect quite quickly xx
big hugs cos tooth ache is awful :bighug:

Have you tried codine or cocodamol they seem to be a bit stronger, If you go docs they can perscribe you the stronger cocodamol called kapake and they are brilliant and kick in really fast.
Hope its gets better soon xxx

Hope you're feeling a bit better today Sugar. But I guess from your lack of minis update there's not been much of an improvement yet.

Thanks Ladies, really appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
Last night was the first night I was able to sleep because of the pain! So hopefully the infection is starting to clear up!!
I have not been on plan at all this week, not eating anywhere near enough fruit and veg. Have not been on takeaways, just soft things like beans on toast. Lol
My WI is tomorrow but I has a quick hop in today and I am showing a 2lb loss, hopefully I will be able to maintain that till fri and I can get by 4.5 stone shiny!
Normal business will return to my diary soon... Promise!!

Awhhhhh, just catching up on your diary and sorry to hear about your mouth :bighug:
Not a lot I can add to what others have suggested, but hope the antibiotics kick in soon.
However, there is one remedy that I used when I had an abcess, that worked wonders for the pain, and probably helped to kill the infection, in my mind anyway, and that is to dab the tooth with neat brandy
