My wisdom teeth are coming out in experiencing a lot of discomfort in my mouth, and a lot of pain, all dentists in my area are closed for the weekend, it seems as though i have an abscess, what can i use for the pain?

Non-narcotic: Current research has found that non-narcotic pain. relievers are every bit as effective, if not more so, than narcotic products, with considerably less side effects and addiction risk. 2 200mg Ibuprofen (Advil) plus 1 650mg extra strength acetaminophen Tylenol is more effective than codeine combined with any nSaids.
