<human>: Ive severe toothache in one of my molars the pain increases as I lie down to sleep. Ive been taking 625 mg amoxicillin clavulanic acid tablet twice daily for 4 days but the infection doesnt seem to go. Ive tried taking paracetamol+ibuprofen/Ketorolac/zerodol but nothing helps. the only relief is keeping ice cold water in my mouth. Please help!
<bot>: Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain while lying down suggests you have an irreversible pulpits. I suggest you to get the x-rays done and root canal therapy. Medication will subside the infection, but the source of infection(your tooth) needs to be cleaned, to clear the infection completely. This cleaning is done in a root canal treatment. A root canal will completely eliminate pain. You can complete the course of antibiotics for a total of 7 days(you already completed 4 days). Take retool 10 mg DT, you have to dispense the sachet into half glass water and have it thrice daily for 3 days. Regards.
