Hello ma'am, sorry to read about your troubles! Your best solution will be to apply ice in a wet towel for 10-15 minutes as often as desired during the day Taking Tylenol may help relieve the pain. If you are not pregnant or trying to become pregnant, have no allergies or contraindications (your pharmacist will be able to confirm this), taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and other brands) can also help while waiting for a consultation with the doctor. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
