It sounds to me like you should get an appointment to get checked out. An infection in your mouth can become something serious. if you are in pain and yoru teeth are bothering you, please do yourself a favor and make an appointment. Nobody should have to suffer any more after what you have already gone thru.
Ask for something called magic mouthwash. It will help numb your mouth and enable you to eat and brush your teeth more comfortably. There are several different variations of it. Mine was lydocaine which numbs, maylox to soothe and benedryl. It works very well and was a life saver for me and many others on here.
