Answer 1

Try Ice or cold packs to reduce the swelling.
Then only time will heal. Sorry!

Answer 2

First thing is first, make sure that you haven't done any damage to your teeth and/or your braces. Once you have deemed that everything is okay with those, I suggest you put some ice on your mouth to help numb the pain. You also need to keep your mouth clean, so I suggest rinsing your mouth with some hydrogen peroxide diluted with water (instructions for this can be found on the bottle of hydrogen peroxide - don't swallow it!). Rinse your mouth a few times a day (especially after meals). Stay away from acidic foods and drinks (i.e.: tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, etc.). If the pain persists or gets worse, the bleeding starts again or you get a rash or fever, go to your doctor right away, you could have an infection! Feel better!

Answer 3

Place clean tap water into a foam cup and place in your freezer until it is completely frozen. Peel back a small amount of the top of the cup and massage this onto area of pain using constant circular motion. DO NOT hold the ice in one area for more than 3 minutes since this may cause frostbite. Cold therapy should be stopped once the skin feels Numb.

It's going to take a few days for the swelling to go down. Do this ice technique several times a day and it will help the swelling. Advil liquid capsules would help the swelling and pain. Take them four times a day.

Answer 4

Take motrin
and ice or eat a lot of cold things today like ice pops, water ice, ice water - it should feel better - the motrin helps the swelling and takes the edge off.
