Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that in case of he is experiencing severe pain in spite of giving 4 doses of Ibuprofen with no relief then it can be due to excessive pressure over the nerves in the area under the root tips of the tooth caused by the pus formed due to infection that is leading to dental abscess formation..

In this case the removal of the tooth can only resolve the pain completely..
You should consult his treating dentist should be consulted soon and a early extraction can be planned to relieve his pain permanently..
As of now you can give him higher painkiller like TRAMADOL to relieve pain as it can relieve severe pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
