I wish you had some ibuprofen. Get some when you can? It will work. You can take 4, or 5 if you need it initially, of the 200 mg tablets in an emergency like this. That's what my dentist told me to do one time when I was on vacation and broke a tooth. It worked. Needless to say, taking that much on a regular basis isn't a good idea, but it's warranted in a situation like yours. I hope you get some relief! Hope you are sleeping now.
