Post Zoom Whitening, What Can I Do to Alleviate the Pain?

Lew from Little Rock
I had my teeth whitened today at my dentist (Zoom Whitening,3 15 minute sessions). I was not warned or cautioned about any symptoms afterwards. However, my teeth r so severely sensitive and are shooting pain all around my mouth that my eyes are watering. I took 4 200mg ibuprofen right afterwards and it didn't help. Since then, I've taken one 7.5 hydrocodone pain killer, still no help, any suggestions on what to do or how long this will last??
