Suggest Treatment For Severe Tooth Pain
I am having extream tooth pain due to two broken molars, one on the top right side of my mouth and the other is directly below it on the bottom. I went to the ER about two hours ago for the pain and was perscribed hydrocodone, it is not working at all!!! I have horrible shooting pains through my jar, in to my neck as well as into my fave, right ear, right eye, and right side of my head. How can I manage this pain until the morning when I can call a dentist? ( it's currently 11pm) should I go back to the er? I feel like I and going to throw up and/ or pass out from the intense pain.

hello
i have gone through yor query.you havnt mention your age.is there any swelling also.it is a case of acute pulpitis due to your decayed(broken) molars.as you have taken hydrocodone it is a opoid analgesic(painkiller) and it is not working.for emergency situation you can take aceclofenac, paracetamol and serratiopeptidase combination.or if pain is severe you can take daclofenac injection intramuscular.start an antibiotic also as it ll fight the infection and reduce the inflammation e.g. amoxycillin plus clavulonic acid.don worry and keep calm the pain ll subside for sure.visit the dentist as soon as possible to get those teeth treated.
hope this ans helps
