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.
3. Soup. Broth-based soups are a great source of relief for wisdom teeth removal patients. Although you may not feel up to eating soups until 1-2 days after the surgery, it can provide plenty of protein, as well as an alternative to the sugar-filled foods typically suggested after wisdom teeth extraction.
