Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe tooth pain which is mainly because of presence of infection in root canal area and it could be due to cavitated tooth and poor oral hygiene as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get IOPA done to check level of infection. You should not self medicate yourself as you have altered mental status as well. If it is there go for root canal treatment. You should do brushing and flossing twice daily. You should do warm saline gargles with antiseptic mouthwash. Maintain proper oral hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
