Wisdom teeth pain
Hi,
I am facing wisdom teeth pain and due to this lock down all dental clinics are closed as my area is contaminated zone.
Tooth is popping up and facing pain on jaw side. Please recommend some pain killer medicines to heal the pain as of now.
Once dental clinics are open will get this sorted out.
Please help!!!!

Dear sir
Pain in the wisdom tooth can be because :
1) infected/decayed wisdom tooth
2) impacted and causing push like sensation to adjacent teeth and bone.
3) pericoronitis.
Treatment would differ according to the situation.
Safe pain killer is paracetamol 500 mg, maximum 4 times a day.
Next Steps
Take proper tele consultation with your dentist, if you cannot visit him. Discuss all the condition and share images and take treatment accordingly.

As of now take these medications
Rx
Tab Augmentin 625mg BD
Tab Metrogyl 400 mg TDS
Tab Diclomol BD
Tab Pan 40 OD
Tab Ketorol DT. SOS (in case of severe pain)
All for 5days
The tooth lacks space or it is not coming out in proper position creating the pain and infection and also the food lodgement in that area.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist whenever possible, as clinical and radio graphical examination is required to proceed with further treatment plan
