Tooth ache
I am feeling toothache in the same tooth in which root canal was done 1 yeae ago. I was required to get cap fixed but I didn't. Now some filling from that particular tooth got broken and I feel heavy pain now. Due to occasion of holi I don't find any hospital & clinic functioning now. What shall I do. Can I be prescribed any medicine so that I could feel relieved right now. I would get my consultation done day after tomorrow when hospitals & clinics would be available. Thanks.

Hello sir,
Hope you ll be better soon. Please do warm salt water gargle for temporary relief. For any medications please do consult us here. You can use colgate pain out gel over the tooth for temporary relief. But the proper treatment will heal the cause.
