Severe Tooth pain
Hi Doctor,
My grandma is 80yrs old, due to current situation we are unable to visit dentist. She is having severe tooth pain from yesterday.. unable to eat. Suddenly pain is increasing and after some time it is bearable. Teeth not shaking. But pain is there both in teeth and gums. Her whole right half of the face is paining. Can she take any pain killer.. kindly help. We tried home remedies like clove and crystal Salt.
