Hello. i went through your query. First of all Novaclox is not a painkiller. Its an antibiotic combination of amoxicillin and cloxacillin. To control the pain, you need to take analgesic Zerodol-P twice daily after food for 3 days. Your pain will subside few hours after taking the medicine. Also it is necessary for you to visit dentist to treat the actual cause of the pain. Do not discontinue your novaclox. Continue it until the time, the doctor has prescribed.
Hope you are benefited by the answer.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain you are describing is a characteristic feature of pulpitis. So the novaclox will not help much. The teeth has to be treated immediately by RCT. Once the treatment is started pain will come down. You can start with novaclox and analgesic like diclofenac 50 mg BID. This will reduce the pain when you take medicines and will be effective for 4-5hours. So consult a endodontist and get it treated immediately.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
