Not an AIBU really but just want to ask opinions/offload.
On Wed just gone, my husband said he had toothache in one tooth. Took paracetamol/ibuprofen which was fine and didn't think much of it at first.
It got gradually worse and he used over the counter Co codomol but they were not fully getting rid of the pain.
Saw our dentist on Thur at 12.15pm who diagnosed sinusitis (DH has had a cold recently) and prescribed an antibiotic.
Fast forward to yesterday- anything warm/hot e.g. a cup of tea was aggrevating it but cold water was helping. Painkillers weren't working. Last night was horrendous- he was in agony all night, up every 10-15 mins for cold water.
Rang 111 at 5am who advised him to go to A&E which he did.
He came back with stronger co codomol (30mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol) plus naproxen.
He has taken these as directed but is still in so much pain. Surely they should have had some effect?!
He is honestly not a complainer and had to persuaded to go to A&E as he didn't want to waste their time! But he is honestly in agony.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a case of waiting it out? Any tips?
