Tooth Pain After Taking Oflox Oz For Only 5 Days, Instead Of 7 Day Course. Help

Hi, I had dental checkup. After doing 2 sitting cleaning of my tooth and filling cavities, Dr advised Oflox Oz to be taken two times a day for 7 days. I had for 5 days only. Now I am having pain in my teeth. Is this because I did not complete 7 days dosage.
My tooth pain is increasing and not sure how to control it. Please suggest.

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Pain in the filled tooth can be because of two reasons;
There could be dental caries left beneath the restored tooth, when it reaches the pulp tissue causes inflammation known as Pulpitis.
Or there could be presence of high points if you feel pain at the time of chewing and other tooth movements.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get an x-ray done, accordingly replace the filling with root canal treatment.
Take tab combiflam 500mg TDS for 5 days to relieve pain.


Take care!
