Brief Answer:
Tramadol is a good option

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.
Please consider Tramadol as the possible option of a pain killer- upto 3 times a day. Paracetamol may be too mild. Take it with an antacid, I suggest tab pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before food.

Meeting a dentist foe antibiotics is eventually needed. Meantime you can start tab ciprofloxacin 500 twice a day and metronidazole 400 three times a day. Antibiotics , you may not get OTC in USA.

I HAVE tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
