Hi if it is an infection taking just a brufen will not help as it is only a pain killer. Substantial relief will be experienced only after a course of antibiotics which will reduce the infection.

Next Steps

see your dentist immediately for the appropriate antibiotic treatment.

Health Tips

for temporary pain relief take Ketorol DT
