Nerve infected in my tooth can't get extracted until after holidays have taken penicillin tylenolwcodine excedrin oralgel ambesol peroxide listerine none works what can I do to get through the holiday?

Answer 1

In chemist shops you can buy Toothache drops or Oil of Cloves - to be taken alone or in conjunction with a strong painkiller, like Nurofen Plus.

You could see a GP for prescription meds for pain such as Panadeine or Panadeine Forte - the active ingrediant being the codeine that's specifically good for toothache.

At one time I had to have most of my teeth removed, one by one, after sudden attacks of throbbing pain & unexplained decay The meds they gave me while I waited at my workplace to be seen at the clinic were very strong & branded Codeine & Codeine Forte. However, it may only be a drug that dentists prescribe from their surgery/rooms as I haven't ever seen it on sale or behind the counter.

The bottom line is any infection is potentially life-threatening & the few lymph glands trying to drain toxins away from the brain make this situation very risky if untreated. While they may not want to treat the actual problem, they are charged with a duty of care to treat your pain!

Therefore, if worst comes to worst visit A & E, I'm pretty sure that they have on-call consultation available for severe & life-threatening conditions relating to dentistry.

I don't envy you & I wish you a speedy resolution.
