Question: hello,
my dad is experiencing a bad toothache.
kindly suggest.
Brief Answer:
Important to visit a dentist...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Tooth ache are from various causes. Medical drugs prescribed for tooth ache is only to take care of symptoms. He needs to see a dentist for evaluation and to correct the problem.
If there is no history of asthma, gastritis and kidney disease, I start paracetamol and diclofenac combination pills such as magadol (not more than twice a day) half an hour after food to take care of pain in such cases and refer them to a dentist.
Hope this helps.
Regards
