OTC Pain Relievers
When the pain caused by an abscessed tooth is intense and triggers other symptoms like fever, then OTC pain relievers can be effective relief. 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. [2]
