Get his to the hospital tomorrow morning!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this toothache that your roommate has. The chances that he has and infection that would require antibiotics is pretty high. To obtain such medications. he needs to be examined by a doctor to identify the source and type of infection in order to request appropriate examinations and drugs that will help address this. There is no better way than getting him to the doctors. A dentist will be a good person to start with.
For now, he should add tylenol to Advil for better relief. He can take these medications as many as 3-4times in a day. If the pains also persists, he will get better pain medications in the hospital for better pain control.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
