Hello,

If you have a decayed tooth that is causing pain then you should first of all get an x-ray of the tooth done to check the exact condition of tooth as taking antibiotics and pain killers will provide temporary relief only.

If the tooth is deeply decayed but is in a condition to be saved then get the root canal treatment of tooth done. If the tooth is in poor prognosis condition get it removed. You can, however, start taking Ospamox along with painkillers. Take the soft diet and do cool compresses over the cheek.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
