<s>[INST] I have been suffering with toothache and was told by the pharmacist to take ponstan 500mg...im 120kg and have taken 10 so far today and nothing!!! Help!!! [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Only pontan will not help in toothache. It needs to be covered with antibioticis + mouth wash for local effect. So visit a dentist for evaluation. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.Wish you a good health!Regards,Dr. M. Imran Javid </s>
