Wisdom teeth pain
I am having pain in mouth due wisdom teeth growth on lower right side of mouth. A bit of swelling is also there.
I consulted a doctor which gave me pain killers "Ketorl -DT" .
Can I take something else to reduce the swelling and pain.

Taking antibiotics or painkillers alone may just alleviate you of the trouble for time being. Kindly meet a Dentist as soon as possible, if the tooth may not have space to erupt , it is better to get them removed with a minor surgical procedure.

If you take medicines only pain will be reduced but pain doesn't go and it will come back once effect is gone , hence this should be treated by extraction , kindly consult your near by oral and maxillofacial surgeon so that he can see clinically and decide

Yes. You may take Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5 days to reduce infection n swelling. Flexon MR twice daily for 5 days will act well as painkiller & muscle relaxant.

Hello
It is not advisable to keep taking painkillers. Please get the wisdom tooth extracted if that's required. Pls discuss with your dentist because he's seen you clinically and start with antibiotics if required.
Please keep that area clean and do warm salt water rinsing.
