Try Tumeric....it's an anti inflammatory. Also salt water rinses. There's a homeopathic med called Hypericum. It's for pain or minor injuries to the extremities, also Arnica. I recently had a tooth extraction and bone graft because one of my root canals failed. I've been doing all the above.
Good luck!
