Suggest Medication For Intense Pain In Teeth After Novacaine For Fillings

Hi, i have had some type of novocaine for fillings, the first filling done on upper right, 2 days later tremendous pain in my teeth on left side, asked the dentist, he didn't have a clue, a week later filled cavity on lower right, same occurrence,(on left side) a week later cavity on upper left, 2 days later extreme pain, mostly in bottom left, every tooth was like nerves on fire, now the teeth on upper left hurting, but not as much, but face swelling much more. pain is intense. Thank you for any information, also my throat on left side seemed too close, have been feeling nauseous, but i think from pain.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain on the left upper and lower teeth can be because of the decay involving the pulp and the periapical area. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph of the teeth where you have pain. If there is any infection in the root tip of these teeth, then get them treated with RCT and crown.
If i am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) till we confirm the diagnosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
