The overwhelming majority will respond to rest, drinking plenty of fluids, herbal remedies to boost the immune system(if immunity boosting isn't contraindicated by a pre-existing autoimmune disorder or if you are taking immunosuppressants),

every 4-6 hours if the pain persists until you are able to follow up with a dentist,” says Dr. Sinensky.
