Covid positive but I need emergency medical help

I tested positive for covid at the weekend and don't come out of isolation for another 5 days. But I've broken a tooth and the nerve is exposed. I am in agony. I cannot take any painkillers or antibiotics besides paracetamol as I have severe allergies which cause anaphylaxis.

I badly need emergency dental treatment immediately but I have covid! I can't find any information anywhere about this and can't get hold of 111 - does anyone know what I should do?

Ive just read that you’re being seen this morning.
I hope everything goes well and you get some relief from the pain quickly.

@Motorina
Mine is just in a 2R mask.
I had seen footage of air cleaning devices on TV being used in dental practices but, seemingly, not in NHS dental practices!

Glad you could be seen @Dentistwithcovid I hope you feel better soon
