I have cavities in my teeth that cause severe pain all night; what medication or painkiller should I take for relief?

Asked by Female, 30 · 2 days ago

To help manage severe toothache pain tonight, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory) or acetaminophen. Please follow the package instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dose. Avoid placing any painkiller directly against your gums, as this can cause chemical burns. Holding a cool compress to your cheek and sleeping with your head elevated can also help reduce throbbing. Please remember that these medications only provide temporary relief and will not cure the cavity. It is very important to see a dentist as soon as possible to properly treat the tooth and stop the pain permanently.
