Suggest Treatment For Toothache

I have a terrible toothache and cannot see a dentist until Tuesday or Wednesday. It is Saturday. All I have is Cipro. My tooth broke in half and just a little s sticking our. It feels like there is an open wound into the middle of my tooth. It is sensitive to sweet, pressure, hot or cold. My whole face hurts ito my head. I will see a dentist as soon as I can get to one. I am just afraid of infection. Should I take the Cipro. This is a rural area, and no dentists were open today.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth ache can be because of the exposed pulp resulting in pulpitis secondary to broken tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluted, take a radiograph to see the amount of tooth structure remaining to decide whether the tooth can be saved or extracted. Mean while you can continue the tablet ciprofloxacilin and along with that you can take a pain killer like diclofenac.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
