Can Hot Or Cold Fluids Be Taken After Application On Orajel?
Hello ,
I think I have an abscessed tooth , the right side of my upper gums and my right cheek are a little swollen and a little painful ... I've rinsed with salt and warm water a few times , I just put some orajel on it ... I'm wondering should I put a hot or cold compress on the area ? Should I be drinking hot or cold fluids ? Do you have any other suggestions for treating this at home? Also it is New Year's Eve after all , is it ok for me to have a glass or two of wine during the festivities ?
