Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Combiflam is a combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol. Definately, it is effective to reduce tooth pain. But if there is infection in the tooth, only taking combiflam will not work. So you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
