Severe toothache can be very distressing and often indicates an underlying dental issue such as infection, decay, or inflammation that needs prompt attention.

🩺 Immediate Steps to Take

• Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to reduce bacteria and soothe the area.
• Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods that may worsen the pain.
• Over-the-counter pain relief like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help temporarily, but avoid self-medicating with prescription drugs without a doctor’s advice.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

• If the pain is accompanied by swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or breathing, seek emergency dental or medical care immediately.
• Persistent severe pain lasting more than a day requires prompt evaluation.

🩺 Next Steps

• Schedule an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and treatment.
• The dentist may prescribe medications such as Zerodol-P (containing aceclofenac and paracetamol) to reduce pain and inflammation, but this should only be taken under medical supervision.
