Meds + Alcohol: Strong doses of Ibuprofen dull your senses, making operating machinery (such as a car) problematic. Adding alcohol on top of that may put you at risk as to your auto insurance coverage. To diminish pain rinse w 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water 3x/day. Make sure your gums are healthy by flossing or using WaterPik daily. Eat soft high-protein diet. Make sure to brush 2x/day for 2 full minutes.
