Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for writing back..

It looks like you have either decay in tooth or fracture in tooth causing pain..

Please get an x ray done and upload it here so that I can advise you that the tooth can be saved with treatment or needs extraction [removal of tooth]..

For now you can continue taking Brufen only when you have pain otherwise not..
Take soft diet..

Please revert back with x ray..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
