question: My boyfriend is having a lot of pain in what seems to be his molar. The pain has now migrated to his throat. We went to the ER on Sunday. No x-rays were given, The doctor said it was not tonsils. She wrote him a script for pain and Penicillin. My boyfriend says he is still in a lot of pain. He said the meds that were given to him only dulled the pain. Any ideas or suggests as to what this is or how to make the pain stop? He does not have insurance so a dentist is out of  the question.
