Intagesic MR Tablet is not recommended for severe dental pain, as it primarily targets musculoskeletal pain through its combination of pain relievers (Diclofenac and Paracetamol) and a muscle relaxant (Chlorzoxazone). For temporary relief, you may take an over-the-counter NSAID such as Ibuprofen, or a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, provided there are no contraindications. However, severe tooth pain often indicates an underlying dental issue, so prompt evaluation and treatment by a dentist are strongly advised.

I'm sorry to hear about your severe tooth pain. Since you are currently taking Intagesic MR Tablet, which contains diclofenac (a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory), paracetamol (a mild pain reliever and fever reducer), and chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxant), it is important to use it as directed and avoid exceeding the recommended dose.

For additional relief, you can try these self-care steps:

  • Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to reduce inflammation.
  • Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to numb the area and reduce swelling.
  • Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods and drinks that may worsen the pain.
  • Maintain good oral hygiene but be gentle around the painful tooth.

Since severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying dental issue such as infection or decay, it is important to consult a dentist promptly for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment. If the pain worsens, you develop swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing, seek emergency dental care immediately.

Please avoid taking additional pain medications without consulting your dentist or doctor to prevent potential side effects or drug interactions. If your pain persists beyond 10 days despite medication, follow up with your dentist for further management.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you have severe tooth pain. Could you please specify your age and gender?
