Hi..
Thanks for the query..
If you have a toothache then it is most probably due to infection in tooth.
So, for this you can take NSAID's like Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Ketorolac etc.
To reduce infection you can also take a short course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin after consulting your Dentist..
It will help in reducing both infection and pain..
You can also apply clove oil over your tooth.
