My mouth is in seething pain. I recently had oral surgery in which a doctor had to cut a small piece of my gum. The wound got infected and now my mouth, ear and whole right side of my head is in pain. The pain meds available to me barely take the edge off. What do I do? I just took 30mg of ketorolac and I still can t sleep.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i am glad you wrote in, according to the dental history provided by you, it is not clear what dental treatment have you undergone, but, yes you have developed infection in the treated area.I know the pain you are experiencing is severe and radiating, therefore,kindly visit your dentist as he/she will prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, retool won't help.I recommend warm saline rinses, along with antibacterial(Betadine) mouth wash 3-4 times/day.I hope i answer your query, i wish you good health, take care.
