I am experiencing severe tooth pain and no medicine is working. What medication or painkiller should I take for relief?

Asked by Female, 35 · 4 hours ago

For dental pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen are generally most effective because they reduce inflammation. You can also alternate this with acetaminophen, provided you have no health conditions preventing their use. However, if these medications are not working, it suggests an underlying issue like an infection or nerve exposure that painkillers alone cannot fix. Please do not exceed safe dosages. I highly recommend scheduling an urgent appointment with a dentist to address the root cause. In the meantime, try rinsing gently with warm salt water and avoid extremely hot or cold foods.
