OTC Pain Drugs
When your gum pain is intense and causes fever, over-the-counter or OTC pain drugs can be a great solution. Some common options that you can find in any medical stores include ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil), naproxen (Aleve), and acetaminophen (Tylenol). They could be useful in alleviating your tooth pain quickly. Make sure to take drugs as directed. Avoid overdosing because it can result in many severe side effects. Keep your eyes out for any signs which would suggest that the infection is getting worse. If you still have pain after 2 to 3 days, visit your dentist immediately. [4]
