Put a cheap aspirin up against the gum on the outside edge of where the tooth is and it will numb it as well as eventually work on the headache. ;-) I don't know if ibu's will work on it but aspirin will (even baby aspirins) that way its absorbed right at the point of the pain and not have to work thru your body. And as the pain starts back up you can do it again. (white bread in the tummy helps absorb the nastiness and remember, DROOL rags! lol

Something else that works are these little bags ... they sell under the name of 'polaris bags' around here. Drug stores usually have them. They have been around for years but few people use them or even know of them anymore. Non-narcotic etc so they should be out for sale at any time of the night if the store is open.

The hubby had a second set of wisdom teeth come in when he was in high school and he used those to get thru the pain that they caused. ;-) I can only imagine how much that hurt since my one set ached and they came in one at a time. lol To have 4 of them... I'd have considered a rope. We grew up in the prehistoric times where all those pain killers were non-existant or really controlled.

If the ache continues, you need antibiotics so a doctor is imperitive.
