### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my teeth and my dentist said that I have dental caries. What medication should I take?
### Doctor: You need to take a course of antibiotics to treat the infection, so I will prescribe either Penicillin, Clindamycin or Erythromycin. You may also need to use some pain relief medication such as Bupivacaine, Benzocaine Topical or even Clove oil. Additionally, you may need to use Oxymetazoline Nasal spray or Chlorhexidine Topical to reduce inflammation and prevent secondary infection.
