Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
Medications provide relief temporary ,but complete relief is only after the tooth is treated.
I would advice you to visit your dentist again and have a radiograph done .If the tooth is to be treated ,start the root canal treatment immediately for the pain and infection to subside.
Continue with medicines as prescribed.
Salt water gargling can be done.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
