Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am facing a toothache problem, especially at night times. There is higher pain from the last three days. Please suggest me a solution for toothache problem.

Answered by Dr. Ummah Mohammad

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you are describing it as night pain it looks like the infection in your tooth has reached pulp and now requires root canal treatment. Please get an X-ray done and send the photo of the X-ray as soon as possible. For now, you may take the following medications for three days:

Amoxicillin clavulanate 625 mg, twice a day, Paracetamol 500 mg thrice a day, only when pain is there, otherwise take only Amoxicillin clavulanate tablets. Revert back with X-ray. Follow up after two days.

Regarding follow up

Follow up after two days.

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