Question

what can i do to cure the pain?

Answer 1

Ah man thats gotta suck, thats what you get for not inviting me to the beach! lol jk! Well im guessing its just that your gums got a serious bruise  in which putting ice on it for ten minutes at a time will help (wrap the ice in a thin towel). Have you checked to see if you have any cracked teeth by any chance? Or possibly you teeth dug into your gums...which takes awhile to heal.

Answer 2

Take some Advil and put ice on it. You may have injured your gums, if your teeth are hurting use some Orajel.
