Hi, I suggest you take Zerodol SP every 8 to 12 hours, maximum twice a day, and continue your antibiotics as prescribed. You can also use ice or hot packs on the painful area. Zerodol SP is a strong painkiller with anti-inflammatory action, so do not exceed the dose. If pain still continues, please consult your dentist again.
