Hi, There are multiple reasons why a mild toothache that is non-specific can arise. This may be due to chronic tooth decay, or gum inflammation. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relief for an immediate reduction in pain. This is only going to give you symptomatic relief. We need to identify the cause and address that.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist nearby or through video consultation and get prescription medication
