Severe tooth infection and pain
I'm asking on behalf of a local shop keeper, Prakash, who is suffering from pain due to tooth infection. Due to Covid 19 situation local dentists are unavailable.
He seems to have severe tooth infection and when he had visited the dentist a while back they had suggested a tooth extraction. However, he did not get it done and now he is facing pain.
Is there any recommendation for him to subside his pain.
It's been 4 days since he is experiencing severe pain.
The infected with is Molar on the upper-left jaw.
Thanks in advance!
