I have severe pain in my tooth. I previously had a filling in that tooth. Ive been taking acetametaphen and and a benzocaine tooth gel but neither works, and the gel just makes it worst. Ive been keeping cool water in my mouth all weekend, since an ice pack no longer helps the pain, but I cant sleep or eat through the pain. Im weak and sleepy now because of it, and I still have 24 hours until my dentist appointment. What can I do.I am a 26 year old female, 140 lbs.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth could be because of the tooth infection. Consult an oral physician and get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction. It can also be because of gum infection. For gum infection you have to get your teeth cleaned. Before that you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days(if you are not allergic) and painkillers like diclofenac 50 mg bid. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
