Dentist,  's  Response
Hi..
Thanks for the query

Curam 1 GM is an antibiotic combination containing Amoxicillin 875mg and Clavulanate Potassium 125 mg..
It is given post extraction of teeth to prevent Infection or to reduce Infection in dental Infections and other conditions..

It is not a pain reliever..

If you have pain after extraction that has increased gradually can be due to Infection or Dry Socket formation, so first of all a clinical examination is a must to rule out the cause of pain..

For temporary relief you can take painkillers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen and if pain is severe Ketorolac can be taken but as painkillers are prescription medications so first of all consult an Emergency room for prescription..

Hope this helps .

Regards .
