Popisicles: Most important is to remain hydrated. Sucking on ice cubes or popsicles can help keep you hydrated and help swelling and pain. Try crushed ice or soft sorbet, ice cream, frozen yogurt. Buy real fruit products and steer clear of any that irritate (citrus) or freeze juice in ice trays and crush using a blender. Use adult dose of children's liquid Ibuprofen for inflammation and pain 4x/day.

Sip Ice water: Cold packs under both sides of your jaw and sipping ice water can really help. Ibuprofen liquid can be a big help too.
