Had my upper molar taken out 24 hours ago because of a broken filling that got infected & was touching the nerve. I’m still in the same pain?

    Ice packs will help with the pain, and reduce swelling.

    You just had a surgical procedure: there's going to be some pain.  That's normal.

    Most of the time, removing the infected tooth will let your body clear up the remaining infection by itself, in a couple of days.

    24 hours isn't very long.  Hang on, and use ice packs.  You'll get through this.
