Re: Ouch, I'm miserable, abscess tooth(?)Update

I searched cz and the net high and low, come hither tither for info on quick relief of this thing.

I have completely saturated the inside of my cheek from the cotton swabs soaked in io, rather it had went into the gum tissue but it only took up a little the cheek took the rest, looks like the inside of a io bottle on that inner cheek. I also took about five drops in water. Found something on using a tea bag and so I grabbed a tea bag poured some hot water over it, let it get soggy and threw it on my gum tissue, I thought my head was going to explode...ouch...It's throbbing horribly but I will see how this works.

I can't figure out if it is my tooth or the gum tissue because the freakin oral surgeon who removed a tooth in the way back shattered some of the bone, had to open it up and sand some of the bone protuding out of my gum. I have had nothing but problems in that area since and I'm realllllly worried that what if the bone itself is infected and they can't figure it out? I've been to the dentist 2 times for similar that I'm dealing with here but had been on Antibiotics prior to seeing the dentist so nothing conclusive and it would just simmer down.
I am miserable, probably rambling here.
