The dosage and type of medicine required for toothache depends upon the condition of tooth clinically as well as through x ray..Only a painkiller alone would not give the permanent results, you should a visit a dentist to start the treatment required alongwith analgesic medicine..The time gap for Meftal P tablet can be 6 hours either u can prefer Ibugesic Tab if you do not get relief..
