My poor boyfriend has had toothache for about 4 weeks, very scared of dentist and tried to delay the inevitable. Saturday was the last straw and I dragged him to my dentist who said he needed a filling, booked for 2 weeks time. So pain has been extremely bad, he's being woken in agony, can't sleep, eat or drink other than water. Ibuprofen and paracetamol every 2hrs, codeine at night, oragel in between. Spoke to dentist yesterday who said it's an infection and prescribed 2 lots of anti biotics, started last night. 24hrs in, pain is worse, in his face and ears. Physically exhausted and drained.
Is it normal for pain to increase once anti biotics started? Is it worth going back to dentist tomorrow? Is there anything else he can do? Ice pack offers temporary relief.
thank you, desperate to help him.
