I'm sorry to hear about your continuous tooth pain after an insect bite. Tooth pain following an insect bite could indicate an infection or inflammation that may need medical attention.
Here are the next steps you should consider:
- Avoid self-medicating further without professional advice, especially with antibiotics or painkillers.
- Since you took a pain relief tablet (PAIN LOCK), if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a dentist or an oral surgeon promptly.
- The dentist can examine the affected area to check for signs of infection, swelling, or other complications.
- If there is an infection, the doctor may prescribe an appropriate antibiotic such as Moxclav (which contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid), but this should only be taken under medical supervision to avoid antibiotic resistance.
- Meanwhile, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid chewing on the painful side, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling if present.
- If you develop symptoms like fever, swelling spreading to the face or neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek emergency care immediately by calling Apollo Emergency at 1066.
