Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Good morning Madam, As you are having unbearable pain you may take Tab. Ketorol âDT ( 0-0-0) (max 3-4 tab/day), But this will only give you temporary relief. As this condition arises frequently I would advise you to visit your dentist before your journey and go for a permanent solution.

Hi..... For the time being you can take Tab. Ketorol DT-2 tablets at once dissolved in a cup of water, if you have severe unbearable pain. But please visit a dentist after that, get an X-ray done. X-ray and clinical examination will determine the position of the tooth . He/ she will tell you the treatment plan.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist.
