I don’t know where you are, but if you’re in Europe I’d get my hands on some Novalgin (illegal in the US because it isn’t addictive) other than that there’s some kind of pads for jaw operations that you put in the freezer.

I personally find pain more bearable than the cold, so no ice and a lot of sleep for me

Word of warning. Novalgin (Dipyrone/metamizole) will completely fuck your white blood cells.

Yeah but we’re talking about a single-incident use here, the article seems to analyse reports about clinical stay usage, as in, over longer bouts of time.
