^ please make sure to follow through with calling the dentist. You don't want the infection to spread and then an easy remedy becomes a complicated one.
I've already decided to call him first thing in the morning, no matter what. The tooth hurt like hell earlier, when the painkillers stopped working. Thanks, though.
It does sound like a dry socket.
I remember how awful mine was and you have my sympathy.
They might have to pack it with medicated gauze.
I have an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be able to do something.
He fucked up a prescription for stronger pain meds, though, managing to prescribe another batch of what he gave me in the first place (which was just stronger-than-usual Ibuprofen).
