Painkiller help

[guiltynetter]

Sorry to ask on here but i don't have anybody else!

I have horrendous wisdom tooth pain that's getting worse (will ring the dentist again today) I'm on day 4 of a 5 day course of amoxicillin. been taking the max amount of paracetamol and ibruprofen for 5 days (definitely not over) not been eating as much as its painful to open my mouth but I have been eating small amounts.

this morning I have horrible stomach pain, it almost feels achey rather than crampy. could this be because of all the painkillers? any help much appreciated 🤞

hopeful little bump

Oh theres nothing worse than toothache!.
Ibuprofen can cause stomach pain, you need to make sure you take it after food. If normal pain meds arent helping you can buy paracetamol and codeine from the pharmacy....its only for use for a maximum of 3 days but it might help until you get back into the dentist.

Clove oil? Bloody amazing. Ice pack on face to numb the area.

Maybe the ibroprofen. I would but some solpadiene from the chemist. I find the dissolving ones work geat. They have paracetamol and codeine and can be bought over the counter

It's likely the ibuprofen, it can give awful stomach ache if you take without food. Agree re paracetamol & codeine, try lay off the ibuprofen today and in future always take with/after food! Hope it eases soon OP.
