Hello everyone :( I’m currently on vacation in Tokyo and have 4 more days until I leave back to the states.

The problem is I have a tooth that fell out a couple months ago and the nerve is exposed. (Note: I have a scheduled root canal but dental work in the states is so expensive so I am planning to take care of it in March!!) Out of nowhere, the nerve itself flared up and the whole left side of my face is swollen and I am in intolerable pain.

Unfortunately, my healthcare provider does not cover international care and I’m in desperate need of pain killers and/or antibiotics for the swelling. Any advice for a foreigner? Any clinics or options available for traveling foreigners?? I also don’t want to pay a hefty medical bill as I am currently almost done with the trip and don’t have much money to spare. Thank you for the help and I apologize if this has been previously posted. 😔
