A member asked:
Pain in my jaw and wisdom teeth, is there medication that can dull the pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: I would suggest taking an over the counter medicine such as ibuprofen, Acetaminophen or Aspirin if you are not allergic or sensitive to them. Ultimately, you will need to see your dentist for evaluation and definitive treatment as indicated.

OTC meds: OTC meds like ibuprofen. This will minimize symptoms until you can see an oral surgeon.
