Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concern.
From your description, it appears that your upper second molar is likely infected, which is causing the pain and swelling. The medication you've taken (Ketorol-DT) will only offer temporary pain relief but wonât treat the root cause.
Next Steps
Visit a nearby dentist immediately for a clinical check-up. An X-ray (IOPA or RVG) will be needed to assess the extent of infection. Based on the X-ray, the most likely treatment option will be a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) if the tooth is still restorable. You may also require a short course of antibiotics to control the infection and swelling before starting treatment.
Health Tips
Do not continue painkillers beyond 2â3 days without a proper diagnosis. Swelling, if left untreated, may spread to adjacent teeth, sinus, or bone. Early treatment leads to better outcomes and helps save the natural tooth.
