Thanks for the advice Mojo. I will have to try that next time. I

have been on the Anitbiotic for 2 days and it's getting better but

they still hurt. I can't believe how long it takes. I used to

clear up right away. I'll have to talk to My Primary care about

this because I have more dental work to be done and I'm not looking

forward to it especially after this last time. Carol
