How can I make my braces stop hurting?

I got braces yesterday and they really hurt. I know this is a normal process of getting the braces, but does anyone know anything that will make it stop? I’ve already tried medication, and it didn’t work. I also got my septum done 2 hours before I got the braces, but that doesn’t hurt at all, but I was wondering if that could contribute to the pain in my mouth somehow? That may seem like a stupid question, but I’m willing to hear anything to help at the moment. Thanks.
