Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and fever could be secondary to the infection. Do not take so many tablets it will result in adverse effects like nausea, vomitting, restlessness, drowsiness. without consulting the physician do not take any medicines. You should take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg tid and metronidazole 400mg bid(if you are not allergic) for three days to control the infection along with a pain killer. the drowsiness could be because of the adverse effect of the nurofen.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
