[|Human|] I am in a lot of pain from a problem with one of my teeth.  It doesnt seem to be getting better.  I received the antibiotic yesterday and today Ive started taking hydrocod/acetam 5-325mg tab mal.  It still is hurting very bad and I dont know what to do.  Im traveling, out of town and reach of my normal health provider.What should I do?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Pain in a single tooth is most commonly due to deep Infection in tooth leading to nerve exposure present in the center of the tooth. It can cause nerve irritation, and pain. There is also a possibility of pus formation below the root tips of the tooth causing tooth abscess formation. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. An x-ray can be done for confirmation. If the tooth is in a position to be saved then Root canal treatment can be done followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers. If there is deep decay then extraction is advisable. For now continue taking antibiotics and painkillers. Hope this helps. Regards.
