I am having a severe tooth-ache right now. I am unable to lie down. Sleeping posture is increasing the pain tremendously. In sitting posture, I can tolerate pain. Reading helps to take my mind off the pain.I took a crocin at 11
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth you are describing looks like of pulpits origin, in pulpits, when you sleep or lie down, due to increase in intro pupal pressure, you will get severe sharp, shooting type of pain. Consult a dental surgeon and get the tooth restored with root canal treatment and get a crown done. Meanwhile, if I am your treating doctor, I would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics like, amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) and systemic analgesics like diclofenac 50\u00a0mg BID for 3 days instead of Cronin. Try to get the tooth treated as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
