Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need to visit a dentist as early as possible for proper treatment.

1. Brush twice a day and use mouthwash after brushing. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush around the infected tooth.

(Consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.)

2. Take an antibiotic Amoxicillin tablet or Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanate) tablet twice daily for five days.

3. Take painkiller tablets for pain relief.

Thank you.
