Cavity in wisdom tooth
Hello,
I have cavity in my upper left wisdom tooth and it is really bothering me from past 3-4 days. I have to take atleast 2-3 painkillers (combiflam ) everyday but it is still really painful. I know the best treatment is the tooth extraction which is not possible right now because of the lockdown. I have tried gargling with salted water, betadine and clove oil and sensodyne but nothing seems to be working. The pain comes and goes and sometimes it is completely unbearable. Is there anything else I can do or any other medicine that might help me to get through this until the lockdown is lifted ?

You may switch to a strong pain killer like
Tab Voveran Or Tab Tramadol which can be taken 8 hourly.Also u take a antibiotic course of 5 days.which will reduce infection in periodontium around the tooth which can also be cause of pain.
Rx:-
Tab O2 twice daily for 5 days after meals
Tab Tramadol 8 hourly after meals
Tab Rablet D once daily before meals
Warm saline rinses after meals
Hydroxyl mouthwash (1:10 dilution) twice daily for 14 days
☆☆☆Make sure you are not alcoholic as Tab O2 has life threatening reaction
☆☆☆Apart from this regimen if severe pain take 2 tablets Ketorol DT dispersed in water
☆☆☆Only few drops of hydroxyl in water as only diluted solution should be used.
Next Steps
As above
