A MOUTH ULCER also may reveal similar intensity of pain which one can mistake as tooth ache.. It has to be ruled out first.
Then comes the medication part.

Hi, Flagyl is an antibiotic and not a painkiller.
You can give her Ketorol DT tablet (2 to start and 1 to follow) on an sos basis to relieve the pain.
