Hi,

Well, Noxdom contains anti-inflammatory painkiller Naproxen and is helpful in reducing pain and inflammation.

But in case of a toothache that is also causing your throat pain, headache and the blocked nose is pointing towards sinus infection secondary to the tooth infection.

So the painkiller can reduce pain but the effect can be temporary and pain can recur once the effect of the painkiller subsides.

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and a tooth X-ray and Sinus X-ray can be done for confirmation.

Getting the tooth treated along with a course of antibiotics, painkillers and decongestants can help in improving the symptoms.

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
