First day I experienced toothache and headache so I took pain killer pills. 2nd day , when the toothache subsides, headache remains then I had a running nose, which I think i will be having a flu . Then I took cold medicines, but on 3rd day I got foul smell on my breath which looks like a rotten mucus . So please advise. I don t know what to do, whether to extract the tooth as I still feel pain sometimes and headache still there,

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I would suggest you to visit a dentist .
The cause of toothache has to be ruled out.
Impacted or decayed tooth has to be extracted.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Please do not take medicines without medical supervision.
Regarding the running nose and cold ,please do visit a physician.
Brush and floss your teeth daily.
Frequent warm saline and chlorhexidine mouthrinse can be done.
Take care.
