What Causes Toothache And Burning In Gums/lips?

I just got an immediate and severe toothache and my gums and lips have been burning all day. I took 800 mg go ibuprofen and 1000 mg of acetaminophen. Will that help get rid of the pain and how long before the pain starts to subside. Can I do this every 6 hours until I go to the dentist on Monday?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth could be because of the tooth or gum infection.
The burning sensation could be because of the ulcers or any desquamation of the gingiva secondary to tooth brush trauma.
Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. If there is tooth infection then you have to get it treated with RCT. If it is ulcer, then you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like a anabel gel.
For the pain you can take analgesics like tablet flexon (ibuprofen 400 mg and paracetamol 500 mg) thrice daily for 3 days.
Tablet amoxcillin 500 mg 3 times daily(if you are not allergic).
Do saline gargling. Do not take more than three times.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
