Hi.
Thanks for the query.
If you have tooth pain it can be due to causes like tooth decay, deep gum infection, fractured tooth etc.
As you are pregnant and in the second trimester, it is safest for any dental treatment.
But before I advise you further please provide following details.
-Age?
-How long is the pain present?
-Which tooth is painful, upper or lower jaw tooth , front or back tooth?
-Is there decay in tooth?
-Is there any swelling in gum or cheek in the area of pain ?

Brief Answer:
Medication advised are appropriate
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I have viewed your images and it looks like the tooth jas a deep decay.
But it can be confirmed with an x ray.
The medicines advised to you are appropriate for reducing infection and and pain but for complete resolution the tooth has to be treated.
The second trimester (4th - 6th month ) is safest for any Dental treatment.
So if your Gynecologist permits you , you should consult a Dentist and ger yourself checked.
Hope this helps..
Regards.
