Are There Any Strong OTC Medications To Alleviate The Severe Toothache And Earache?
Hi,
I have a very bad toothache. It's so bad that it gives me an earache. I know my tooth is broken down below the gums. I just can't afford dental care right now. Are there any strong OTC or natural medications I could take/make to alleviate the pain? It doesn't hurt all the time. Thank you for your assistance.
I can't afford a Dentist and I can't afford to pay for consultation. My apologies for disturbing you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks like there is deep infection in your tooth leading to severe nerve inflammation causing pain.
There is also a possibility that there is abscess formation below the root tips leading to severe pain.
So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist as soon as possible and looks like the tooth is grossly damaged so better get it extracted.
For now you can take antibiotics like Amox-clav and stronger painkillers like Ultracet [Tramadol] or Ketorolac.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
