toothache. Again.

[frualeydis]

My husband's asleep. My sweet baby is asleep and has slept for three hours in a row now. But I can't sleep because of the toothache. I've taken paracetamol and also some dexoprofen (rather strong stuff), but it doesn't even begin to make a difference. I went to the dentist on wednesday and he said it was an infection and not a hole, so he couldn't do anything (there is a large hole on the other side of my mouth, but that doesn't hurt at all). I'm beginning to suspect it's my "wisdom teeth" trying to get out. But they can't because there isn't enough space, which can be seen clearly on the x-ray pictures. I have my ordinary appointment on June 8th and then I might talk them into getting surgery and taking them out. But that will take even more time. And how am I going to survive if I don't get some sleep??!!
I've really tried, but as soon as I lay down it hurts way too much to sleep. It must be pressure on a nerve or something.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

If it's an infection, can you get an antibiotic to kill the infection that won't leach through to your milk?

Yep, but I've just finished eating antibiotics, with no result.

I'm going to see my dentist on Wednesday for a 3500kr (~443 dollar) job. She wanted to take one of my "wisdom teeth" at the same time but I said no, I'm scared of the dentist. I had at tooth pulled out as a 6 year old and I will never ever do that again.
