Not knowing what else to do and moving back home shortly, I decided to stick with the salt rinses, finish out the
clindamycin,
and give it time. The headaches persisted
and my speech was changing - the slight swelling on the front of my face around that extraction site caused me to grit out my speech and speak with a slight lisp.
So I took 2 Advil, about every 4 hours for 2 days, and then 2 Advil a day for the next 3 days. It seemed to ease the headaches and pain.
