Are there other painkillers out there that would be more effective? Thanks

I got good relief from wearing my mouth guard almost as soon as I started using it, so hopefully you will be the same. I found painkillers of limited use too tbh although I did end up on prescription stuff in the end. Have you tried applying heat to the area? I always found that gave me the best relief from the pain.
