Patricia,
        I just wanted to make a comment about the mom who is getting her wisdom
teeth out tomorrow. I can't comment on the drugs, but you might suggest
to her to put cabbage leaves on her jaws after the surgery. When my son
had his 4 wisdom teeth out, I performed an experiment and had him put
ice on one jaw and cabbage on the other. The next morning the ice side
had swollen up and the cabbage side had not swollen at all. He even said
that the side with the cabbage didn't hurt as much the next day.
