What can I do for sore gums/toothaches?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I have a cold (mom gave it to all of us). My mouth aches, is there any possible way to help lessen the pain? Or am I doomed until this cold is gone? I haven't been sick in years so you can imagine how my body feels.

Gargling with salt water always works. Get a small glass of warm water & add salt to it & mix it up & gargle with it & spit it out.

Is it your upper teeth that hurt? Because you have a cold then it’s most likely your sinuses. If it really your teeth (upper or lower) anbesol from a drug store/pharmacy should help.

yep... either a saltwater rinse, or a hydrogen peroxide rinse

(don't swallow either)

Last time I experienced that was when my wisdom teeth were coming in and there was literally nothing I could do

Well, that's not my case unfortunately.

I'm sure some type of painkiller would do the trick

Some salt water helps
