Brief Answer:
Acetaminophen codeine is a more powerful drug!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and sorry to hear about this toothache.

The better option is acetaminophen codeine. It is a more powerful drug. However, please know that it is a controlled substance and make sure you are not getting it illegally as it may make future acquisition difficult. Take it as recommended by your physician or pharmacist. Please, this is a temporal measure. Get a dentist appointment for this to be addressed once and fully.

I hope this helps and addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
