Have Had Tonsillitis. Wisdom Tooth Painful. Anything Apart From Pain Relief Supplements?
Hi, I have had tonsilitis for over a week and my throat now seems to be clearing but for the past 3 days my 2 bottom wisdom teeth have been extremely painful. I cannot open my mouth very wide and I am finding it impossible to eat due to the pain. I have been using teething gel and taking pain relief, but is there anything else I can do to get through this? Thanks
