if i may?
miso soup and millet and dark green leafy veg, if you can eat at all.
hot compresses, Cephyl homeo-aspirin, calcium supplements.
avoid citrus, sweets or fried food. drink lots of fluids, unsweetened green tea, avoid stimulants like theine and caffeine.
acupuncture would be a good choice, if you know a good practitioner.
i went through hell of this type, jaw, lymph and exposed nerves from bad dentistry, and these things have been helpful.
