Ibuprofen: Ibuprofen works just as well if not better than Codeine if you take it before the pain gets worse. 400 to 600 mg every 4 to 6 hours for two to three days. Take it regularily and it will keep the pain at bay.

Antibiotics: You may need more than just pain medication / antibiotics if you are having severe tooth pain. It might be from an infection from a large/deep cavity. You may need a root canal on the tooth or the tooth may need to be removed.

See a Dentist: You can go see your dentist. It sounds like it is more serious and needs some professional attention. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or any anti-inflammatory medication can help. Aleve, motrin, advil and even a holistic alternative arnica. But the key is to find the source of the pain and stop it. You must be suffering. Please get some help!
