Respected sir
Simply taking painkillers will only mask the problem and make it worse. Kindly show it to your nearest dentist and have it evaluated whether its need to undergo rct or extraction.
Having too much of pain killers leads to other problems as well like Gastric ulcers etc
Next Steps
Immediately see a dentist
