appointment. so i did just that was seen by a different DR. who right off the bat i new did not care he took a look at the tooth and left the room the nurse came back sent me to the pharmacy and received a one night prescription to a medication i am allergic to.

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have constant toothache dont be worried so much for pain you have to go for treatment to get relief permanently . For this you should consult dentist then go for its treatment .
Inmeantime Do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day , for pain you can take analgesic like Paracetamol by dispersing in water or you can take Ketrol dt if you are not allergic to this drug by dissolving in water.
Hope this will help you.

hanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the erupting wisdom tooth causing inflamation of the overlying gums called pericoronitis. Understanding your situation since you have exam, If i am your treaing doctor, I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Along with this you can take an analgesics like diclofenac 50mg bid. Do saline gargling.
But the medicine are for short period of time, once you get the appointment you can get the tooth removed till then the medicines will take care of the pain and infection. you can consult a dental surgeon and get the tooth removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
