Hello there….
See you can only control the pain and infection by medication but without proper treatment of that tooth it will get worse only…
Go to the nearest dentist and get it treated or else if you can’t go to the dentist you have to control the pain by medication for pain and infection only.
But as soon as u stop the medication the pain will come cause it’s at the stage where medication only will not cure it and u need to get a proper treatment.
Take Ketorol DT for pain
And Augmentin 625mg for infection control twice for 5 days after food
