There is something wrong with my tooth?

Question:

in the afternoon my tooth starts to throb, and is very pain full, very much painfull. it only starts in the afternoon, and after a couple of hours the pain is spreading to my other teeth it feels like it. it has been going on now for 3 days, and I have been having to take 2 hydrocodine just to help with the pain. sometimes i can rub the bottom of my tooth and it will knock out the pain for a few mins, i dont know why it does but it works for a few mins, just long enough to fall asleep. Usually when I go to bed and wake up in the morning the pain is gone and will start up again in the afternoon. I have tricare but unfortunetly i never set up the dental and I dont have the money right now to set it up and when i doo, I would have to wait for 20 days until it would finally be set up to use it. I need some advice for this please..

I have this same problem..

By the way, your teeth don't ache, it's the nerves and the skin. I have the same issues and it travels down all over my right side. If you touch the sucker, it feels good for a moment, but then it gets worst.
I found that, mine is agitated by eating on the infected gums side. As long as I avoid that side, the pain is lower.

If you don't have the money (like me) take some listerine. Sip a little onto the other side, so it can warm up in your mouth a little, then hold it it your mouth as long as it take and longer for the pain to subside.

I caught Staph infection while I went down to New Orleans after the hurricane. Germs everywhere, My dermatologist gave me a cream and that didn't work for the rash. Then she gave me Cephalexin for "Keflex" it worked, but I didn't finish the bottle and it hid inside my body and it's hubbering.
The Advice Nurse, said I should go to a dentist.

I keep making appoints but take the easy way out and do the listerine.

Good Luck. I feel your pain.

I suggest seeing a Dentist.

See your dentist soon.

Waiting can be a problem.

You probably have a cavity or abscess or perhaps gum disease.

Get an xray taken and have a pro check it out.

If you wait, you might lose the tooth as opposed to having just a filling.

keep smiling.

Check to see if there is something stuck between your teeth.. floss for a bit and see if any thing becomes dislodged.. often a small piece of meat can become stuck and cause real pain to what feels like the teeth, but is actually the gums.
