<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I had done root canal on my teeth and the doctor had put some medication inside the tooth and temporarily closed it...he mentioned, I may get pain and suggested to take dolo 650 mg. But I got sever pain and took combiflan. Is it okay to take it for tooth ache?  <response>: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. Combiflam is a combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol. Definitely, it is effective to reduce tooth pain. But if there is infection in the tooth, only taking Coquitlam will not work. So you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days if you are not allergic. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
