Hi. I have very rotten molar and wisdom teeth on top and bottom on both sides. Problem is the right side of my head just above my temple is swollen and throbbing with severe pain. Is this normal and will it eventually go away. I take a mix of neurofin plus and prodein extra also metronide and curam duo forte antibiotics. Its been over 2 weeks now and it doesnt seem to stop much. I mainly need to know will the pain and swelling go away or is it a sign of something worse. Please remember i cannot aford to see a dentist. Thankyou
Hi, it seems you have worsened your condition, your swelling and pain is due the persistent periapical infection in your tooth. European Plus is a pain relief medication based on codeine and ibuprofen which will not work well in 3rd molar pain, you can go for tramadol or proximal for pain, trypsin and chymotrypsin for your swelling and ofloxacin and ornidazole for your infection. Kindly stop all your previous medication before starting your new medication.  But I will insist you consult a medical practitioner or an E.N.T. if you not will to visit a dentist.  Pupal pain is spontaneous, strong, often throbbing, exacerbated by temperature, and outlasts the evoking stimulus. Localization is poor, and pain tends to radiate to the ipsilateral ear, temple, or cheek. The pain may abate spontaneously, but the patient should still be referred for dental advice because the pulp has probably necroses, and acute periapical periodontitis (dental abscess) will probably follow. Endodontics (root canal treatment) or tooth extraction is required.
