Hi, Thank you for the query. Tooth abscess presents with severe radiating pain and has to be Chat Doctor.  This treatment is followed with a course of antibiotic and analgesics. Diclofenac potassium should be taken every 6to 8 hours, every 4 hrs is not advised as it will lead to gastric irritation, heart burn. Hope this helps you.
