Hi, I have had a toothache for the past 2 days. I've been woken every hour tonight in agony and now have a giant lump on my gum. Hurray, an abscess! I'm due to give birth to my first baby on January first. Normally, I burst my abscesses myself but what with baby, I'm not so sure. Anybody have any suggestions for the pain? I've gotten a dentist appointment on Tuesday which is 3 days away and I can't last that long.
