Suggest Treatment For Toothache

Thank you. I m on losartan, levothyroxine, hctz. Today, my dentist suggested suphedrine for an ache in my rear teeth...doesn t think it s decay, but rather a sinus infection. She also told me to contact the pharmacist...pharm told me to contact doctor...left message but haven t heard back...meanwhile ...this ache continues. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of toothache after treatment of typhoid which seems to be due to systemic infection and could be due to badly carious tooth and facial spaces infections which is giving generalized symptoms.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get IOPA( X-RAY) done to check extent of infection. Go for root canal treatment of teeth and then capping of that teeth. Avoid intake of sharp sticky food. Use antiseptic mouthwash. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity. Take proper course of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac. If it is due to sinus infection do warm saline gargles along with this take proper course of antibiotics to subside infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
