Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the quert,

If the pain is related to infection, Augmentin may help. Advil also is generally effective at controlling pain and you could take up to 600 mg of this every 8 hours.

Regarding the Augmentin, this must only be taken under the supervsion of your personal physician.
