25 years old & can’t swallow tablets, & have an unbearable toothache. HELP

[lucymart777]

So, I currently have the worst toothache I think I’ve possibly ever had (going to ring and book a dentist appointment for tomorrow) but for now I need something to take the pain away, I have taken nurofen lemon meltlets and they have done nothing. Is there anything else I can take that isn’t a tablet, maybe something I can dissolve in water or melts on the tongue? Need something strong as I can’t take this anymore.
I’m from the UK so would have to be something available here.
Thank you!

Good that you went to the dentist OP, hope the antibiotics kick in and ease the pain very soon for you.

I used to really struggle with swallowing tablets.

What helped me was drink first.

So, instead of putting tablet in your mouth first put drink first.
Hold the drink in your mouth and then put tablet in, then swallow.

Don't even realise it's there.
