How long will the pain and sensitivity last after teeth whitening with at home trays purchased from the dentist?

lcooper17
I used an at home whitening kit from the dentist 5 weeks ago, and I have been experiencing considerable sensitivity in my top teeth ever since. One tooth aches constantly, and all teeth are set off by cold water and air. I am using sensitive toothpaste, a soft toothbrush, MI paste in my trays daily, and fluoride mouthwash, not to mention various painkillers. I have been to the dentist and had X-rays, which show nothing. Please help, I am constantly anxious and depressed over this
