my boyfriend has craters in his mouth because his molars were rotting, and he hasn’t had the money to go to the dentist since last year. He is able to go but hasn’t been able to schedule an appointment until tomorrow, but he is in horrible pain now. He has already taken 4 ibuprofen today and just took two Acetaminophen and I can’t find any home remedies that don’t work. We’ve tried to numb it by hot and cold, but he can’t have liquids so half the cures we found are of no use. Any suggestions?

You know, you should probably find out WHY it’s hurting rather than just take medicine to make the pain go away.

The best way to help would be a combination of salt and vinegar. Find a way to get it in the spot needed. Keeping it there for around 30 minutes helps. It tastes bad, but it dulls the pain.
