Ketorolac 10mg can be used for temporary relief of toothache pain. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage which is usually 10mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It's also important to not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a dentist for proper evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause of the toothache.

I'm dealing with this small hole in my mouth near my lower left molar, and it's always hurting. I notice it feels a bit better after I gargle for a little bit. There's no bleeding, but the pain wont go away, and there's some swelling in my left jaw. I'm starting to worry if this could be something serious like cancer or if it's just an issue with my wisdom tooth. What could be causing this?

It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I've been dealing with really bad mouth ulcers that keep getting worse, and now there's a painful bump on my tongue making it hard to eat anything except water. The doctor prescribed creame and forte b tablets, but the ulcers are spreading even after taking antibiotics for fever that started 5 days ago. I'm scared of surgery can this be treated without it? Should I see an ENT specialist or a dentist for this? There's an image showing the sores and bump on my tongue.

It's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon for the painful bump and persistent mouth ulcers, as they could be a sign of something more serious, like oral cancer. While some ulcers resolve on their own, prolonged sores warrant medical attention. Treatment options often include topical medications or, in some cases, minor procedures, but surgery is not typically necessary.

My dentist prescribed me Ofloxacin and Ornidazole for a dental issue, and it got me wondering, isn't this combination usually more for stomach infections? I didn't know it was used for dental problems too. Could it have any effects on my heart because I'm seeing a cardiologist as well? I just want to make sure everything's safe. What's the usual reason dentists would prescribe this?

Dentists and cardiologists may prescribe the Ofloxacin + Ornidazole combination to prevent or treat bacterial infections that can occur during dental procedures or in patients with certain heart conditions, such as endocarditis, as Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria, while Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal agent that also has antibacterial properties, making this combination effective against various types of infections.
