Hi...
You can take plain paracetamol (Dolo-650) tablet
Probably they have to remove that filling.. so get it done soon as taking medication will not be the permanent solution.

Hello Deeksha, the symptoms you describe is most likely a inflammation within the tooth and could be due to one of the following reasons - (i) The filling is high (ii) The components of the filling is irritating to the nerves of the tooth most often seen in tooth coloured filling (Composite restoration) (iii) An infection in your tooth. As a palliative measure you may take Paracetamol (Crocin-500) or Ibuprofen (Brufen 400). However, your symptoms are likely to continue unless attended to professionally.

From your clinical symptoms and history what i can make out is that you went to the dentist in the very last moment when the tooth decay was giving you trouble . Although the dentist has tried to save you a root canal treatment, it is this R.C.T which now seems inevitable. Did your dentist took a before & after filling x-ray and discussed all the options with you. You must discuss everything in advance to avoid such incidence. Medications will only help as long as they are taken. Thanks

only pain killers can give you a temporay relief only a visit to a nearby dentist would be the best solution as there is a clinical intervention required in your case .

Dear ***** you can take Mox 250mg + Ibugesic Plus 3 times a day use cold fomentation from outside every 2 hours and will have to visit a dentist as to proper evalution of the cause of the swelling & pain. you may require an intraoral xray to find out the cause then only you may get relief permanently

first of all tell yr dentist to check for high points and trim that. medicines are not solution. still pain is there then problem is with yr treatment.... what kind of filling is that?.... if , tooth coloured >>> go for re treatment

[ many factors matters like> material used, cureing light used, technique used, saliva contamination]

For relief visit dentist,Till then do warm saline gargle.

Hello Diksha,
as you are saying that the pain started after the filling was done..it means that the tooth is indicated for root canal which can be confirmed by clinical and radiological examination.. Till that time you can take Tab Nac-SR 75 mg two times a day.. and if the pain really gets severe just take tab.ketorol-DT after dispersing it in water.. Else you can call
me on **********..My clinic is in gurgaon only..

Dear Diksha,
If the pain has occured after tooth restoration it may be bcoz of high points or the restoration is causing irritation in the tooth , which can be better evaluated with iopa xray and if needed then the restorarion could be removed the rct must be done . Medicine usually dont work in such situation.
Thanks ..

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again

  Doctor's Answer

The tissue tag should resolve in 7-14 days max. rinse with warm water (mix in salt) 3-5 times a day to help keep the wound clean. smoking is a personal choice. IF you truly have NOT smoked post extraction you may start now. ...

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

  Doctor's Answer

Hi, History told by you favours irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ). There are two alarming signs in your case : Firstly, loss of weight and that to10kg approx.

Treatments available for IBS - - Increase the level of physical activity. - Have regular meals and take t ...

My left wisdom tooth has been growing in side ways, but has not been able to come in fully. It started hurting about two days ago. I did not think anything of it and thought it was just growing in more. There was a flap of skin/gum covering part of the tooth. When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that part of it (underneath where the skin covered before) was now a blackish color. I got a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my throat around the same time my tooth started hurting. Are these related? I have a dentist appointment in a week. Is there anything I can do to help it to make it better or ease the pain? It hurts to chew on that side of my mouth and it hurts when I swallow. Will my tooth be okay until I get to the dentist and what will be done by the dentist? Do you think my tooth is infected? Will I have to take antibiotics?
