Suggest Treatment For Tooth Infection After Tooth Extraction

Hi.I have had an extraction 4 days ago because I had a big infection.A fragment of the tooth has not been removed.The pain is severe.I am on amoxicillin and I have just taken diclofex 2 tab × 50 mg and co codamol 2 tab ×8/500 mg.The pain is still bad, not getting better. The dentist said the fragment can be removed only in hospital and I am on the waiting list.What shall I do? Its the 11 day of antibiotics and no improvement. Please , I need an advice.Thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain after an extraction where a root piece has been left can be because of the infection in the root piece. The other possible cause can be because of the bone cutting done during tooth removal. Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of antibiotic like amoxicillin, clavulnic acid and metronidazole combination for infection which is most effective and for the pain you can take diclofenac and serratiopeptidase combination. After that consult a good oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get the tooth removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
