DH has got a nasty infection in a large molar. Been prescribed metronidazole this morning. He has taken all of the antibiotics for today. He now has two immediate problems.....

  1. Since the early hours he has taken 3 doses of ibuprofen ( so no more as maximum it says on packet) and 5 doses of paracetamol ( so def no more as that’s one more than he should have). Is there anything else he can take / do to relieve pain until early hours when he can take more meds?
  2. He says the pain is worse than this morning - dm says antibiotics can make pain worse ( not sure if that’s and old wives tale). He is almost crying in pain and save for dc birth and funerals of dgp he never cries!

Any advice would e great!

Codeine would be a lot more effective for tooth pain.

Would ice help to numb the pain? Be aware the co-codamol contains paracetamol.
