My boyfriend is having a lot of pain in what seems to be his molar. The pain has now migrated to his throat. We went to the ER on Sunday. No x-rays were given, The doctor said it was not tonsils. She wrote him a script for pain and Penicillin. My boyfriend says he is still in a lot of pain. He said the meds that were given to him only dulled the pain. Any ideas or suggests as to what this is or how to make the pain stop? He does not have insurance so a dentist is out of  the question.
Hello, Thanks for writing in this forum, I feel his molar tooth is carious and that has involved the pulp inside tooth...thatch he is having pain.... In this case Root canal treatment is required...or extraction depending on the tooth condition... If you take antibiotic and analgesic the infection will be subsided but after some days again he will get pain...medicine will give you temporary relief, but he has to take treatment that only can give permanent solution...Meanwhile, take warm saline rinses 5-6times/day... Analgesic he can take according to prescription... Get your proper treatment done... Wish your boyfriend good health.....
