Pros: The best way dentists know to alleviate tooth pain is by either taking out the tooth or by taking out the nerve of the tooth. Either of those two scenarios done by a dentist, oral surgeon, or endodontist has to be your choice.

Failed extraction ?: Did you attempt to extract the tooth on your own? Not a good idea. Call a local dentist for an appointment to have the tooth extracted properly. Feel better soon...

Failed extraction?: Pain medication, ( otc or by prescription) will help relieve the pain in the meantime. An experienced and qualified dentist can 'fix' the problem with proper dental treatment. I'm not sure by your question what exactly happened? It sounds like a dentist was unable to fully extract a tooth? I suggest that you find the best well respected oral surgeon in your area for a consult.
