Hello
Welcome to HCM
First of all you should know the reason of tooth ache so get your tooth x ray done. IOPA or OPG xray done which will reveal the extent of infection in tooth or surrounding structures. Meanwhile you can taken flexon A for your pain.
Visit your dentist and according to xray report, treatment will be decided.
Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for consulting with HCM.
If you are feeling tooth ache it means there is an infection in the tooth, and it will be relieved completely only after treatment whether root canal or extraction.
But till you visit your dentist you can start with paracetamol thrice daily with antibiotic amoxicillin.
As codeine will not help you a lot, so better to go for these medications only.
Hope it will help you.
