Suggest Treatment For Bad Toothache

hi. i recently joined a gym and started working out and lifting weights for almost 3 weeks now. my problem is that i have a bad toothache and i don't know if it is okay to take pain meds for it coz i'm afraid i may not benefit from weight training if i take pain meds. I'm planning to see the dentist today. is there a chance my toothache has any direct connection to my recent activity at the gym?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth ache has nothing to do with the gym activities. The tooth ache is because of the tooth infection secondary to decay. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If there is a tooth infection, then get the tooth treated with root canal treatment. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You can also take a pain killer like diclofenac. Nothing to worry, these drugs will not affect your gym.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
