Pain in the gum. Need a pain killer.
I suddenly started feeling pain in the rightmost gum of my lower jaw last night and now it's becoming unbearable. I can't visit a dentist since I'm travelling. I desperately need a pain killer that can numb the pain. Kindly suggest one that I can buy from a chemist without prescription since this has never happened to me before. Urgent advice needed.

Take an analgesic like crocin or ketorol which will subside the pain. If u have access to antibiotic then take amoxicillin tab if you are not allergic. Better take these after meals. Consult a dentist ASAP
