I feel really sorry for you!
The best thing to do is alternate the paracetamol and ibuprofen hour about. If you can get a hold of some clove oil rise your mouth, or the area of toothache with that. Swilling your mouth with ice cold water can also numb the pain. If you’re not driving or at work whisky held in your mouth can help too, personally I swallow it after a while!!
Last time I had tooth ache I spent hours over the sink rinsing my mouth with cold water, so I know what you’re up against.
Best wishes, had hope one of my suggestions work.

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

If its a real toothache ie its due to nerve related pain,then take 1000mg paracetamol with 600mg ibuprofen every 4 hours.

If you can tolerate ibuprofen it is the most effective against dental pain. In a scientific pain survey they found that 800mg of ibuprofen(advil) was actually the best at mananging pain vs maximum doses of acetaminiphen(tylenol) even when combined with hydrocodone(vicodin). Using ambesol a topical numbing agent would help your cause as well.

Go to your nearest chemist and ask them what they can give you over the counter or try neurofen but you have already taken the other types of strong painkillers.By law your dentist should see you within 24hours of your phone call if your in pain,ring them again tomorrow and tell them you need to see somebody..............good luck.

you have to start with an anti -biotic to suppress the infection.
..in severe cases the.tooth has to be drained of the abscess for which you have to get a dental appointment. !! sorry to inform that just the analgesic wouldn't help you beyond a point.
