In the meantime, Icepacks on the outside of the mouth, 20 mins on 20 off, and as stupid as this sounds, a cold used teabag on the gum works a treat too!]]> http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/511016/please-help-my-hubby//#511081 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/511016/please-help-my-hubby//#511081 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 02:43:41 -0700 grendal thanks for your advice we went and got his antibotics that he had like 2 weeks ago again but hopefully this time they will work. http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/511016/please-help-my-hubby//#511059 http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/511016/please-help-my-hubby//#511059 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 02:00:36 -0700 cazza OUCH, and poor u as well,as men are like babies when they are sick...

Dentists recommend Ibuprofen and co-codamol alternately every two hours if the abcess is really sore. Doctors and GP's will prescribe antibiotics for tooth abcesses if you cant get to a dentist. Hope this helps.
