Hi Stacy, Welcome to the pain boards. Vicodin is considered to be stronger than tramadol, although tramadol might be the more effective pain killer dose to dose, I'm not sure.
1. Warm Salt Water. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get rid of wisdom tooth pain. Take hot water and dissolve a few tablespoons of salt in it. When the salt water has cooled to a warm temperature, rinse your mouth with it for a few minutes and you will find noticeable relief.
1. Soups. Soup is probably the easiest and the most obvious food to eat after wisdom teeth removal. Those giant holes in the back of your mouth are sensitive and trying to heal so chewing (and spitting!) will only exacerbate the pain and irritation and increase the risk of infection.
