Severe toothache

2019-08-08 12:27:51
I guess I have a cavity but I will not be able to get a filling as i am travelling due to work. Could suggest some best medicines so that the pain is gone and there is no infection

If cavity is hurting it means the infection has spread to the tooth pulp and needs Root Canal Treatment (RCT). RCTs can be done in single sittings also, so you can get it done while on travel also.
Next Steps
Look for an "Endodontist" (RCT expert) on Practo in whichever area you are at.
Health Tips
In case you don't have any allergies, you can take the following medicines. Rx - *Tab Augmentin 625mg* {2 times a day} *Tab Ketorol DT* {3 times a day or whenever it pains} - Dissolve in half a glass of water and drink *Tab Pan 40* {2 times a day, half an hour before food}

As you already have pain...it is suggestive of an infection and deep cavity. Yes, medicines can give you a temporary relief but the actual treatment is going to be a root canal and not a filling
Next Steps
you can take dolo650 after food only if the pain is intolerable. Don't take medicine for long time and unnecessarily
Health Tips
visit a dentist asap don't delay
