Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Tooth pain can be completely reduced only with the treatment of the tooth. Once the root canal is opened, the pain will be reduced in most cases. You are already taking a heavy dosage of painkillers, adding keto fan to this may cause over dosage.Hence, it is not advisable to take all this at a time. I would advise you to either advance your dentist appointment to the earliest as you may need antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg thrice a day for the infection. Do salt water gargling and avoid applying Hot bag. Hope this was beneficial. Thanks and regards.
