Hi, I wish I knew what to tell you but I don't, except I hope you can see a dentist. I don't know the situation there what with covid and everything. But I wanted to let you know I hear you, you are not alone.

Hi Nicky

Not sure where you are, US or UK, but in the UK you can phone your Dentist then take it from there. If you need an antibiotic your dentist can prescribe that.

I see you had an ear infection 3 months ago too, did that clear up ok or did you have to go back to the doctor? If you phone the dentist mention recent bad ear infection.

Tips for what you can do at home: brush teeth well, but not too harshly after every meal. Use warm salt-water mouthwashes.

Add half teaspoon salt to a cup of boiled water, leave to cool. As warm as you can bear, take a mouthful and hold over the area until the heat is gone , then repeat a few times.

Another tip is a Bicarbonate of Soda mouthwash or you can brush your teeth with it.
