I have a toothache that has been bothering me for four days now. What can I do to relieve this pain? Everytime I am about to sleep it hurts; so what can I do?

Use cloves until you can get to doctor.
1. Purchase some fresh, whole cloves from your supermarket or health food store. If you have whole cloves in your cupboard, you can use those. However, if they are old they may not be as effective.
2 Chew lightly on two cloves, just enough to crack them a bit. This allows the oil to escape.
3 Place the cloves between your sore tooth and your cheek.
4 Leave the cloves in your mouth for at least 30 minutes or until the pain subsides. This treatment can be used for relief repeatedly until you receive proper medical attention.
Naproxen is a good general pain killer that can help relieve many types of pain, including a toothache. Using Aleve (Naproxen) to relieve a toothache is common way to reduce pain of a sore tooth.
