<s>[INST] I am in Malaysia on vacation when I suddenly developed a pain in my teeth. No swelling, no cavities, no bleeding. A throbbing pain in the gum area(lower right jaw). Visited a local dentist today, and they were not too sure as well. Prescribed Metrogyl 200 capsules 2, thrice a day and Betamox 500 capsule 1, thrice a day. Is this an effective medication, asking since they were not too sure as well after examining me. [/INST] Hi...thanks for the query...well. Sometimes cavity is present in between the two teeth which one cant see by naked eye... so along with proper clinical examination, radiographic examination is also required.in that case, filling of tooth or root canal treatment may be required...as you are on vacations, so you continue with medication for time being and visit your dentist after you come back.hope it will help you...take care... </s>
