For now take the medication prescribed.
Rx
Tab Augmentin 625mg BD
Tab Metrogyl 400mg TDS
Tab Diclomol BD
Tab Pan 40 OD
Tab Ketorol DT. SOS (in case of very severe pain)
Take all for 5 days
There is no long term solution for it ,medications will give temporary relief
I would suggest you to visit a good dental clinic where strict aseptic protocol and guidelines for COVID is being followed
