Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am experiencing severe pain in the first molar teeth. I did the filling one year back. I had three Combiflams to reduce the pain. Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As per your description, it seems that there is a reinfection in your treated tooth. Do you see any discoloration over that tooth?

For permanent solution. you have to get it done in the dental clinic. As any reinfection can be confirmed only after x-ray of that tooth. But as per the current outside scenario of viral outbreak, one should not visit the dental clinic unless it is an emergency. So what you can do at home is take tablet Augmentin 625 mg (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice daily for three days after food, Ultracet P (Tramadol) twice daily for three days after food, gargling with lukewarm water and add a pinch of salt in it for two to three times daily. If possible upload the image of your concern area.

I need to know a few more details. Is there any swelling or pus associated with that tooth or gums? Is there is any reddish discoloration or are you having any fever? I want to know what kind of restoration you had?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Yes, there is swelling observed from outside. No fever but jaw is paining. No discoloration observed. I am not sure about the kind of restoration. I will check the prescription and revert back.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your images are not that much clear. (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

If swelling and inflammation are there then take Zerodol SP twice daily for three days after food instead of Ultracet P. But only severe pain then take Ultracet P. Also take Pan 40 mg half an hour before food once daily for three days to prevent acidity.

Yes, from this app only I write down in prescription. So I write a prescription for acidity, infection, and for swelling.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
