Hello
You need to extract the tooth as soon as possible.
If you are not able to extract soon then take
1. Cap. Amoxicillin 500mg with Clavulinic acid 2-3 times
2. Tab. Aceclofenac 100mg with paracetamol 500mg combination tablet thrice daily would be helpful else take Tramadol 100mg thrice.
3. Take antacid like omeprazole once before food olin morning to prevent gas build up while taking those medicines.
Thank you
