wisdom tooth swelling :(
i got one of my wisdom teeth out on the bottom left and it's really swollen. how can i reduce the swelling? i'm taking meds (not Percocet) and applying ice regularly. i can't open my mouth much although i talk normally with a slight lisp. any advice to reduce the swelling besides just waiting it out?

Although there is no FAST way to get rid of the pain other than just waiting you can try using ice 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. When you have teeth pulled or surgically removed that's one of the recommended treatments to help relieve/reduce swelling.
Some people also say that a heat compress will help it, on the second day. Im not sure when you got your tooth removed, but you can try heat :]
Good luck
