Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that your husband is having severe tooth infection, that is why this kind of pain is present. You should take a water dispersible paracetamol tablet or ketorol DT as these tablets reacts faster then other tablets.
And visit the dentist in the morning.
Hope it will help you.
