Hello
The drug you are taking will give relief only for 1-2 weeks usually.
The infected tooth should be pulled out or root canal treatment should be done whenever possible.
If you could not afford it there, try to postpone till you come to india.
Try using warm saline gargle and avoid food lodgement in the cavity.
