Suggest treatment for tooth pain
Patient: I am in Costa Rica and have had tooth pain for 2 months, the doctor found/treated and infection and replaced filling, but I still have pain.  Now my eye on that side is red and swollen.  How serious is this?  Should I drive 4 hours to ER or can I wait until my Wednesday appt with specialist?  I am on Penicillan starting yesterday. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,  Toothache indicates infection in tooth such type of infected tooth needs to be root canal treated, i would suggest you to get a checkup done take an x-ray of the tooth and plan for its treatment, take tab amoxicillin and tab aceclofenac BD for 3-5 days.Take care!
