Dilemma

My wisdom tooth has been borthering me since Monday. Last night I was woken up by the sharp pain. I took the pain killer and the toothache disappeared in 5 minutes. I was relieved. What an effective pill, I thought. However,10 minutes later I started to feel dizzy and nauseous; these were the side effects of the pain medication. I can't stand the pain. I also hate being nauseous. Pain or nauseousness? It is a dilemma.
