Hello,

Both these medicines are prescription drugs and should be taken only after the advice of your doctor. Secondly, antibiotics should be taken in full course for optimum results and not just for one day. One more important thing that I would like to tell you is that if there is tooth infection and the tooth has become painful then it is clear that the tooth is deeply decayed exposing the nerves.

So for permanent relief from pain and infection, you should get an x-ray of the tooth done and root canal treatment can be done followed by antibiotics and painkillers for permanent relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
