Usually: Unless you have an adverse reaction, it will help you reduce both pain and swelling as an anti inflammatory.

Yes...: ... unless you are allergic to the ingredients in the meds. Has this tooth been treated by your dentist yet? Antibiotics and pain meds to do fix teeth, dentists do. The problem will only worsen without proper care.
