Had a root canal done a couple days ago and man, my tooth is still throbbing on and off. I've been popping ibuprofen, using ice packs, and trying to chew on the other side, but it's still pretty uncomfortable. Usually, I thought the pain would ease up quicker, you know? Wondering if anyone has better tricks or home remedies that worked faster for them.
I totally get how frustrating that lingering pain can be... had a similar experience myself. But honestly, two days isn't that long after a root canal—mine took almost a week before the throbbing really settled down. Maybe ease up on the ice packs? I found warm saltwater rinses actually helped more than cold stuff, weirdly enough. If it keeps up past a week though, might wanna check back with your dentist just to be safe.
