The pain hasn't really gotten any better the past few days. Every day I seem to go through the same cycle. I wake up in the wee hours of the morning (usually around 4:00am-4:30am) in excruciating pain. I take some Tylenol and Advil but it takes several hours to kick in. By around 10am the pain has subsided to a dull ache but only after taking 2 Tylenol and 2 Advil every 4 hours from the time I wake up to the end of the day. If I am even half an hour late taking them then the cycle starts all over again.

It's not my whole mouth or gum line along the bridge...it feels like it is more localized to the area where the eye tooth was extracted. I think I will call the dentist on Monday and see if they can check it out. The gum where that tooth was extracted is looking particularly inflamed, red, and it's pretty sore.
