I am having severe tooth pain, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 35 · 6 days ago

For severe tooth pain, over-the-counter Ibuprofen (400mg) is highly effective as it reduces dental inflammation. Alternatively, you can take Acetaminophen. Alternating these two medications every 4 to 6 hours can provide stronger relief, provided you have no liver, kidney, or stomach conditions. You can also rinse with warm salt water to help soothe the area. However, pain medication only masks the symptoms. Severe pain often indicates a deep cavity, infection, or abscess that requires immediate professional care. Please avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums, as this causes chemical burns, and schedule an urgent visit with a dentist to treat the root cause.
