To quickly reduce facial swelling and relieve toothache, you can apply cold compresses, which help soothe and calm the affected area. If pain is severe, analgesic medications—such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen—may be taken under a physician’s guidance; however, these only alleviate symptoms. It is essential to visit a dental clinic for proper evaluation and targeted treatment based on the underlying cause of the tooth pain.
