What Causes Terrible Pain In The Tooth During Pregnancy?

I've got an emergency dental appointment tomorrow as I have ferocious toothache. I was pregnant last year but gave birth to a stillborn boy- it was a highly complicated, abnormal pregnancy, and it was losing weight for my first two trimesters. I didn't know I was pregnant until six months on, and my tooth issues currently are related to a lack of additional dental care in that time.

Can I take cocodamol and diclofenac today? Diclofenac for swelling, cocodamol for pain?is that safe to do?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The pain and other symptoms suggests acute abscess.

If you are not currently pregnant you can take diclofenac(if you are not allergic to any medicine).
If you are pregnant now , you can take only paracetamol ,any other medicine should be taken only if your dentists prescribes for you.

Please visit your dentist and get the tooth treated after having a radiograph done .
Have your teeth cleaned and maintain your oral health well , so you may have no more major issues.

Hope this was of relevance for you.

Thanks and regards.
