Suggest Treatment For Severe Tooth Pain While On Azithromycin

I have a bad wisdom tooth ache. The pain has lasted since the beginning of the year. The wisdom tooth has been repaired several time. I consulted with a doctor, he suggested me to remove the tooth. In the meantime, he prescribed Azithromycin for me. The antibiotics works a little bit but not very effective. What will you suggest me to do.
Thank you

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain in wisdom tooth can occur due to common causes like:
1. Inflammation of gum flap over the wisdom tooth.
2.Decay in wisdom tooth that has reached the nerves..

Taking antibiotics will reduce Infection that will help in reducing pain but it will take a long time and at times the pain will continuously recur till the tooth is treated..

So in case if it is due to decay in tooth and treating the tooth is not relieving the condition then extraction is the best Treatment of choice for permanent resolution..

In case if it is due to inflammation of gum flap then also extraction is the best option..

As of now to relieve pain you should take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, Diclofenac or Naproxen for pain relief..

Hope your query is resolved..
