See your dentist: The best answer is to see your dentist and he/she can put you antibiotics and pain meds if it is your wisdom tooth causing the problem. If seeing your dentist is a problem you can get anbesol over the counter to help. Also you can take 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) and 3 Ibuprofen at the same time and the pain relief is comparable to codeine. You can't continue that for long-it will tear up your stomach.

Short term or...: In the short term over the counter pain meds can help but over the long run the source of the pain needs to be fixed and that will require the help of a dentist.

Salt water rinses: Use salt water rinses and anti-inflammatory analgesics initially and schedule to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon as soon as possible for removal.
