Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a very bad toothache. The whole left side of my face or jaw is hurting badly. Can I go to the regular doctor for this until I can meet the dentist? I do not know what else to do.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern about your pain. The pain looks like because of erupting wisdom tooth as you mentioned the hole in the jaw. If the hole is in teeth, it can be acute apical periodontitis. In the former case, you need to take medication like Ofloxacin plus Ornidazole combination twice daily for five days. In the latter case, take Augmentin 625 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice daily for five days. For any confusion, send me a picture I will provide you with a better possible treatment plan. For immediate relief, take Ketorol (Ketorolac) DT tablet, it will provide you with an immediate relief. If you get the above-mentioned medicines, you do not have to visit a general practitioner and it will provide you with a better time to visit a dentist.
