As she is pregnant, so it’s always advisable to avoid medicines. We normally prescribe Paracetamol for pain though it’s analgesic(pain relieving) power is quite limited. But some Category A medicines like Amoxicillin can be taken like Tab Augmentin 625 mg twice daily for 5 days, in case of Emergency. Kindly visit a doctor as soon as you can because the underlying cause of pain should be diagnosed and treated according to the trimester of pregnancy. The second trimester is considered the best time to perform elective dental treatment ie. weeks 14 through 20. By this time, the development of the fetal organs is complete and the risk of side effects is lower. So please do accordingly.
