wisdom teeth i hate you

Title says it all really! Had an awful weekend my wisdom tooth got infected again and been in constant pain. Toothache really is one of the worst pains you can experience (that I've ever felt anyway) and there were many tears this weekend.
I'd missed 2 days of work so today I really needed to go to the dentist. I got prescribed cordysol mouthwash and also this syringe looking thing!! Dont worry I don't have to inject myself (as I thought she meant!) this is so I can clean underneath and in the gum. Looks a bit scary though.
Don't want to speak to soon but it's already feeling marginally less painful so I hope things improve. Been utter hell the past 4 days
