If it's just been 24 hours, ice for 20 mins at a time, don't over do it. If it's day 2, use warm towel or heating pad, also 20 mins at a time. Keep ur head propped up when you sleep. Use two pillows. And take the meds they gave you. Get plenty of rest. Day 3 was the worse for me. When in doubt, give the doc a ring. Good luck!

i'd suggest salt water! Not that best but... it can help! Also, don't git high! It'll make the swelling worse and you will regret it even more!

Ibuprofen? Call the office that pulled them, ask for suggestions.
