Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a filling in my tooth of some metal (14 years have passed). I had flu and sore throat a few days back. So, I used Augmentin and another tablet of Actifit-P replacement. After three to four days, my toothache started and now if I chew anything, my teeth feel painful. That filled tooth pain has become unbearable. Kindly guide me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
First of all, I would like to tell you that consult your nearby endodontist to rule out the reason for pain clinically and radiographically. If the pain would be due to secondary decay below the restoration and deep to the pulp, then you will have to undergo a root canal treatment and if not so deep, then the pain will be overcome by newer restoration.
Such kind of decay is very common and treated easily. So no need to worry. Till the time you can take Combiflam (Ibuprofen and Paracetamol) to relieve your pain.
