Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually ordent is an antibiotic, it reduces the infection but it is not a painkiller, you have to continue with a paracetamol as well to reduce the pain.
You should take both ordent and paracetamol thrice daily for 5 days to reduce the pain.
And even you should get the x - ray done of your jaw, as it will show the area of infection.
Hope it will help you.
