Pain in Left side teeth
Had two doses of covaxin and last dose was on 12 May. For the past week , I am having pain in Left side down row teeth parallel to the left cheek. It's a not a rotten tooth but feels like pain in the gums. Can I take any medication for the toothache since it's only 12 days after the last dose and should we wait a period of time before reaching out to a doctor. Is there any complications or precautions we need to take before consulting a doctor for this?
Note : Also on blood thinners and other tablets for a bypass surgery done 3.5 yrs back.

Hello sir,
Do you feel any pain while chewing or any symptoms when you take hot or cold substances? do the pain radiates to anywhere around your cheek? If yes you can go for medications like regular paracetamol 500mg twice a day, take medication only if your answer is yes.
Next Steps
Otherwise you can try applying your anti-sensitive toothpaste ( SENSODINE/ VANTAJ) around the tooth but before that make sure you floss the tooth thoroughly sometimes food can get stuck in between your teeth and cause infection and pain so flossing is must and then apply the paste let it for 10 minutes then gently brush it and wash do it 2- 3 times.
Health Tips
If the pain persists even after doing all this better consult your dentist near by. just make sure you double mask and go out and meet your dentist only if it is necessary .

Hi,
Is it the last lower tooth and is it shaking ? Do u get any pain during night ? You can take a paracetamol 500 mg tablet and see if the pain subsides. Is there any swelling on the gum or pus discharge from the same region? Do u have diabetes too ? Please dont stop any of ur blood thinners and other medications. If possible share a picture . Consult the nearby dentist if u can. After the consultation , only if the tooth is indicated for extraction u need to consult ur cardiologist before undergoing the procedure, ur cardiologist can only advise if ne medicine needs to b stopped for a few days.
Next Steps
consult a nearby dentist or maxillofacial surgeon
Health Tips
dont use any hot fomentation or pain balm near the face or neck region
