    The objective of this thesis was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and self-medication in patients with odontalgia who visit a medical post in the district of Ccarhuahuran, Ayacucho, 2022. This study was developed with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional, and descriptive correlational type, applied to a convenience sample of 77 patients. An instrument was used to collect information on the level of knowledge and self-medication, validated by expert judgment and with a high reliability index (KR=0.73). The results showed that 57% of these individuals always self-medicate, while a smaller proportion, almost evenly, self-medicate very rarely (21%) and sometimes (22%). Regarding the level of knowledge, just under half (42%) showed low levels, and only 23% had high levels. The correlation indicated independence between self-medication and the level of knowledge about self-medication (p-value >0.05). In conclusion, having good, regular, or low knowledge about self-medication did not influence the frequency with which individuals from this area self-medicate.
