Depends: It depends on the cause of the toothache. You should see an endodontist (root canal specialist) to determine what is the cause and also the appropriate way/options for treating this tooth.

Are u infected ?: Just because you have a toothache does not mean you have an infection. If so, any antibiotic you take is worthless. Call a dentist in your town and have that tooth treated properly.

Perhaps, but: Perhaps, but even if it is an infection and the Ceftim helps, the improvement will be temporary. See your dentist to find the problem
