THe Dr said they will gradually leave and I will be feeling much better. He gave me mouth wash and Diladud to take every 4 hrs and it does relieve the pain somewhat. ( I spelled the Diladid wrong) lol, but who cares. This does work for a few hours. The mouth wash is the Drs concoction and is very good.
(Dilaudid in case anyone wants to Google it)
