Suggest Treatment For Tooth Ache

Hi there. About 6-7 months ago, i went to the dentist and had one tooth extraction & one filling. Now, months later, the tooth i had filled has become very painful. I can't eat because it hurts to bite down, i can't sleep because of the level of pain i'm experiencing. I am absolutely terrified of dentists, so what should i do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth is because of the infection involving the pulp and the root tip of the tooth. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out the infection. If the tooth is infected then you can get the tooth restored with RCT.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
