I just had a peritonsillar abscess drained a week ago.
The pain following the draining was awful, but the next day I felt SO much better than the whole week before (NP thought it was strep, so the antibiotics didn't get rid of my severe throat pain for an entire week!).
I was prescribed Tylenol 3 (Acetaminophen and Codeine) for the pain. I took 2 the minute I received them from the pharmacist! Like I said, I felt much better the next day, but my throat was definitely still scratchy and tender. It is a week later, and I can eat most foods if I chew them VERY thoroughly. I would say the worst of the pain is over with after about 2 days, then it is just uncomfortable for a few more days.
What else can I help you with?
What does an abscess tooth feel like?
usually a dull throbbing pain that hurts without stimuli and gets progressivly worse more sensitive to hot and cold will usually make it feel better, especially right after something hot
What could happen if you do not have an abscessed tooth checked?
Well besides the obvious, pain and distress it causes. The infection could very easily spread through the blood stream and you can become very ill. Better to get started on antibiotics, and when the infection is cleared have the tooth removed or fixed. ------------ Abscess is an extremely serious condition and if left untreated it could lead to life threatening conditions. Sometimes patients don't feel constant pain, there is a swelling and it hurts only when they apply pressure on it, and even in those situations abscess have to be treated.

When will I feel better after an extraction of an abscessed tooth?
It is going to hurt to have it pulled when it is abscessed but it will feel better very soon after. I had one pulled while it was abscessed and it was very painful but I am very thankful I did it. I couldn't have stood the pain from the abscess much longer.AnswerHealing after an tooth extraction can take up to a week.
