Please see detailed answer

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1. Rinse your mouth: Gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater. This can help reduce inflammation and provide temporary relief.

2. Pain relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help to temporarily alleviate the pain. Follow the instructions and recommended dosage on the packaging.

3. Cold compress: Applying a cold compress to the affected area can help reduce swelling and numb the area, providing temporary relief. Place a cold pack or ice wrapped in a thin cloth on your cheek near the painful tooth.

4. Avoid triggering foods and drinks: Avoid extremely hot or cold foods and beverages, as they may aggravate the pain.

5. Gentle brushing and flossing: Gently brush and floss your teeth to remove any food particles that may be contributing to the toothache. Be careful not to aggravate the affected area.

I Hope Your Query is clear now.
