How To Treat The Tooth Abscess During Pregnancy?

I am 30weeks pregnant and have a tooth abscess with pus draining out, I have a severe headache and regular tylenol is not helping. I have a dentist appointment this thursday, went to my OB yesterday and didn't want to prescribe anything. What should I do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
the abscess and pain in the head region is because of the tooth infection. You have to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. without prescription do not take any medicines. After consulting a oral physician or your gynecologist you can take the medicines like amoxicillin 500mg tid and paracetamol 500mg tid (if you are not allergic).
once you deliver you can take a radiograph to see the condition of the tooth and treat the tooth with RCT or extraction.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
