Simple steps while you wait
These tips can help you manage discomfort temporarily. They do not replace evaluation and treatment.
Manage pain safely
Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed on the label, unless your physician advises otherwise.
- Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side.
Reduce irritation
Keep the area clean and avoid temperature extremes that trigger sensitivity.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- Avoid very hot or very cold drinks if they increase pain.
