k I had better start at the start
One of my teeth I think it was the Second Bicuspid on the right side of my mouth had to be removed, due to an infection that caused very bad pain, of which I was given Curam Duo Forte antibiotics (amoxycillin 875mg and potassium Clavulanate 125mg) for the infection and Panadeine forte (Paracetamol 500 mg, Codeine Phosphate 30 mg) for the pain, now it its 4 months after having this removed and the hole is still there,

Now if I count back from my canines I still have 5 teeth, so I figured I had had enough teeth removed for my wisdom teeth to have come through already.

A few last week, I started getting a really bad toothache that was so bad that Nurofen Plus (200mg ibuprofen and 12.8mg codeine phosphate) could only just take the edge off the pain, and I hardly slept for days.

So a few days ago I visited my local doctor, (booked it a few days before) and she got me some antibiotics and some Panadeine Forte, and even this does not kill the pain completely, but it has stopped the pain enough that now instead of my whole side of my face feeling like its on fire, it has narrowed it down to the very back of my gum.
the back two teeth feel like they are a little loose/soft when I bite down, and it causes more pain, so it makes eating hard, but just behind them the gum has swollen and become en-flamed, and it feels like it is tearing apart.

I've been on Panadeine forte for a few days and still have pain.

And now the gum on the inside of the teeth, starting at the canine and going all the way back is really swollen and sore, and for some reason I cant open my mouth very far, like 1cm-2cm, wide at my front teeth (cant even fit my thumb through the gap), and if I try any further I get a really sharp excruciating pain that feels like its in the join of my upper and lower jaw.
I can’t even get a toothbrush in there to brush behind my teeth or to brush my tongue.

It is also hard to swallow anything I eat, I have to take a small bite, chew very slowly on my good side and swallow, but I can feel it slowly going down my throat, and it hurts like hell, and more often than not I have to wash it down with water before I choke, then after eating I have to take more painkillers because my mouth starts hurting more than before.


Please help me, I’m about to rip off my own jaw out of frustration….
