Trauma: This can be painful but it will feel better in a day or two. You can take otc pain meds like ibuprophen or tylenol (acetaminophen). Avoid hot, spicy, acidic foods and drinks that will irritate the tender area.

Give it time: It will heal. There is really nothing you can do. If it is not better in a few days you should see your dentist.
