Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com. I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your toothache. As per your history it seems to me that you are having acute irreversible pulpits and the medication you are using is only painkillers though you need it, but main problem is infectious tooth which needs antibiotics. Yes, You must change the medication. If I had been your treatment doctor I would like to recommend the following medications. Antibiotics like Amoxicillin clavulinic acid 625 mg thrice a day for 3 days to five days. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further queries. Regards
