Any anti-inflamatory: Which ever one works the best you can take, but not over the recommended dose. A topical treatment for toothache is clove oil, you can place on cotton ball & apply to your tooth. Makes it numb. Do not drink it. Pharmacy carries this. You should use for a few days as you wait for a dental appointment. Baby teething gel less effective but o.k.

Take telephone: Call your Dentist. You have an infection that requires immediate treatment. Will NOT cure itself. Advil (ibuprofen) and cold compresses may help take the edge off until you can get to your Dentist.
