Answer 2

that happened to me as well when I had all 4 taken out, I put my head on a pillow and took the pain medication they gave me, it helped a lot

Answer 3

ice, ice and more ice.  if that doesn't work try a hot water bottle, and try to sleep it off

Answer 4

OK-this is going to sound funny, but when I had mine out my husband put some ice packs in some hose and tied the hose around my head so the ice packs rested against my jaw and cheeks.  Looked funny?  Yes.  Did it help with the swelling and the pain?  Also yes.  :)
