Goes without saying, but that tooth will have to go. The issue? Their "extractor" won't be in for nearly a month. I don't think I'll be able to stand a month of this. They did give me the number of a clinic that could potentially get me in earlier.
In the meanwhile, antibiotics for the infection and any NSAID under the sun for pain!

I hope you get some relief soon. I had something similar happen last month. Broke a tooth, then it got abscessed and infected. Thankfully they were able to pull it the same day of my walk in appointment
Anyway I've gone through a lot of dental crap the past several years so I definitely empathize with you, I really hope you're able to get in and see someone soon
