SO so so suei!of the 10 times that I come back to Penang, 9 times I kick off my holidays with fever/flu/sore-throat for the 1st few days..this is no exception!! Come 22nd yrs in my life..I'm growing wisdom tooth!! damn nerves acting up. Creating a thousand problems for me. Sorethroat (but i think this is due to all the fast food i've been taking past few days), flu, fever..and worst of all is the swollen gums! aihhh...chew also can't chew properly..but how also must 'lun' and 'ngeh ngeh' eat..ahbo beats the purpose of me coming back d..right??? Last night's steak I also chew painfully but it was definitely worth it!! he-he

Oh..Ah Pao/Wailyn are not the only pharmacists to be that I know of. Apparently I've 3 pharmacists in the family..just that theirs is not certified wan.self-medication.. My cabinet is full of medicines accumulated from the regular visits to the docs. So if the penyakit is normal nia-- eg. flu, sorethroat, headache, joints, fever... Fear not. Pharmacist Ong, Lee and Tang will come to the rescue...
Jeng jeng..introducing:
Pharmacist Tang a.k.a mom-most qualified d..cos she finished form 5 ma.haha. her favorite medication is PCM
Pharmacist Ong a.k.a aunt(ahkim)- she likes to prescribe 2 biji PCM 500mg and 1 biji Piriton for flu&fever. usually does the trick
Pharmacist Lee a.k.a AhMa (grandma larr)- illiterate but her prescriptions very the keng wan..chinese herbs usually
So for my swollen gums now I guess its Ponstan ponstan ponstan..fever is PCM..flu is piriton. mom recommends ice cubes. Another aunt says lime juice does the trick. Grandma says lengteh. Hooiching says what also dont have to restrict. eat more laksa then will cure d..it's 4pm..time for laksa. haha. lao eh. phlegm banyak siot. luckily laksa is not hard substance ler..can swallow..Itadakimasu!

Sounds like you may have local infection over the exposed part of your impacted wisdom tooth. PCM is just for pain-relief, but Ponstan has a better effect. Piriton is anti-histamine which reduces inflammation but can cause drowsiness, which would impair your holiday experience back in Penang.
If you still find the Ponstan not working, perhaps you need to upgrade it to Diclofenac (aka Voltaren) for better pain control and it is also anti-inflammatory which reduces the swelling and it is non-drowsy. Also, ask your local pharmacist for antibiotics which can help to reduce the duration of swelling.
After this subsided, you should make an appointment to see a dentist. An x-ray may be needed where you will be able to see how rotated or maldirection your wisdom tooth has become. Then you can make a decision to get it extracted or not (promise you won't lose wisdom after the extraction). Just get it checked. You need to know if the wisdom tooth is "pushing" away your other teeth.
