Your Doc will probably recommend Ibuprofen, since it is an anti inflammatory as well as a pain reliever, it is best to call and double check, though.

Ask the doc/dentist that prescribed the anti-biotics to either prescribe something for the pain or recommend something. A lot of times, they will prescribe something like Vicodin for the pain...but, only in a limited amount.

Cold compresses and 800mg advil an anti-inflamatory. As long as he is not allergic to anything in advil. Do not use heat. It could possibly make the swelling worse.
