Things that work for me in order of most effective to least effective:
- 5ml of injectalbe “Metamizol” brand “Nolotil” mixed with water and swallowed (8 hours no pain)
- Spraying Benzocain tooth calmer on the tooth (20 minutes no pain)
- Rubbing street grade cocain on the area (20 minutes no pain)
- Holding whiskey or any other 40% alcohol on the area for 30 seconds (10 minutes no pain)
- Keeping a mouth full of cold water (no pain until spat out or it reaches body tempreature)
- Smoking (some mild pain relief while hot smoke moves over the tooth)
Note, that you try any of this stuff at your own risk, I’m not a doctor. Putting cold water in your mouth could help, or it could cause agony, rubbing cocain on the tooth will sooth but cause more damage, as will smoking also stimulate any infection.
