🩺 Immediate Relief Steps

• You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol to reduce pain and inflammation temporarily.
• Applying a cold compress on the cheek near the painful area may help reduce swelling and numb the pain.
• Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods and drinks that might worsen the pain.

However, it requires a prescription and should be taken under a doctor’s supervision due to possible side effects like stomach upset or dizziness.
