Suggest Remedy For Toothache And Inflamed Gums

I just went to the dentist and I have tooth cavities as well as pockets around them and the pain is unbearable. The dentist put in temporary filling. He couldn't do more because of my inflamed gums. Is it okay for me to take ketofan 100mg noting that I took Brufen 3 hours ago but with no use ??

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

I can understand your predicament,but taking the medicine continuously one after other can lead to over dosage and harm you.Wait for a few hours and then you can take the next dose.

It is not mentioned if the pain is in the temporary filled teeth,if so visit the dentist at the earliest and start the root canal treatment for relief of pain and infection.

Get your teeth cleaned and use chlorhexidine mouthwash for the inflamed gums.

Antibiotics may be required with prescription from the dentist.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
