Wow, tried a bunch of different ideas that I read in here. Somethings helped a bit, somethings didn't. Then someone suggested mixing garlic salt with a bit a luke warm water and swishing it around in the affected area for a few minutes. Pain and headache instantly gone. Pain started to come back, did it again, gone again. I have an exposed nerve on right side top right in front of wisdom tooth, hard to pack anything in there. This remedy worked for me. Wife won't be kissing me for a while though lol.
