Sorry for later reply.
Initially yes, the pain was (like) raging, throbbing toothache. I have a bridge in the 3 teeth next to tooth where pain was (pain tooth 1, bridge teeth 2,3,4 ) and I was worried that the gum would swell so much that my bridge would break or pop out. Please don't listen to horror stories about meds for TGN. (It's not called the Suicide disease for nothing! And that was a neurosurgeon speaking from experiences with suffering patients) Any meds to get rid of the pain are welcome. If anything, my pain became during the 4 days before I got my wonder-medication!) I'm not entirely sure that TGN would come and go?
Take what you can for the pain.
