Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If the pain is due to a bad tooth then you need to get checked.
Get an x ray done by a Dentist.

If the tooth is in a condition to be saved a Root canal treatment can be done under antibiotic cover.

If it is grossly decayed extraction is advised.

For now to reduce pain you can take stronger painkillers like Ketorolac or Tramadol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
