Suggest Treatment For Toothache
Hello. I m not sure if this is quite answerable but I have a major toothache. It s interrupting my thinking and leaves me in a bad mood and the line of work I do is well I own my own business and I need to be able to concentrate and be calm because I work with power tools and all. My time is limited and well I am not so happy when it is wasted, I want to go into the ER in my near by hospital but, not with out knowing if they will do anything or not. I called and they wont tell me any advise, or answer any questions I have. all I want to know is what is the usual protocol for when someone goes into the ER with a toothache.

Hello:)Thankyou for choosing HCM.
You can take a antibiotic like penicillin (novamox 500mg twice daily for 5 days)
and a analgesic (ketorol 10mg DT for 3 days thrice daily).
Make sure you are not known allergic to these combinations.
I also suggest you to see the dentist for a x-ray and appropriate treatment,as this pain will revert back if the source of infection is not removed.
Regards.
