Question
Hello, I have very severe toothache!! [At times I am simply writhing in pain] which intensifies to the point that I have no rest, and this is after a dental treatment I had to undergo today due to the pain I had, and I have been taking painkillers for several days until the treatment. Before the fast began, I took painkillers, but I don't know what to do next. [It should be noted that I also took strong pills due to what the doctor thought was arthritis, which caused an increase in joint pain, and I stopped taking them].
Answer
It is permitted to take painkillers.
If possible, take them without water.
If it is not possible without water, slightly alter the taste of the water with tea essence, salt, etc.
