If it helps...I found that while recovering from having all of my wisdom teeth out at same time holding ice packs on the swollen areas (there were many) helpe a lot. Maybe you could gently hold ice pack/small packs of peas around neck/throat/jaw?
A little bit of ice cream surely wouldn't hurt..? I would seriously recommend it - it will take the swelling down an awful lot. They fed it to me practically non-stop when I had mine out. :)
You could always ask for Dihydrocodeine..............that stuff REALLY killed the pain when I had the op to my groing to remove the poisoned lymph node.
Whilst digging around for the savlon to tame my chapped lips and the bonjela to sort out the ulcer that has developed syncroniously, I came across my "Ultra Chloraseptic" throat spray containing Benzocaine. That seems to have numbed it a bit.
