safe overdosing????

[AuntyQuated]

I am suffering the agonies of toothache and would like to be able to safely overdose on painkillers.
Does anyone have any knowledge of what i can do safely?

Currently i am taking

• 500mg anti-biotic. one 3 times a day
• co-codamol two 4 times aday (not to exceed 8 in 24 hours)
• 50mg diclofenac/misoprost 200 mcg one 3 times a day (no more than 3 in 24 hours)

what could i safely take more of?
what are the effects of taking extra?

As SuzyFPAP says, A&E might be able to prescribe you better painkillers. Severe unbearable pain is an emergency in my book.

Maybe you need stronger anti-biotics. It's a right PITA, but your mouth won't numb properly if there is infection. If you are going tomorrow, you could ask him to inject anyway to give you some relief for a few hours to sleep. That what I asked my dentist once.

should also have added Fybogel to the list comes with co-codamiol i s'pose.

to make it worse DH isn't at all sympathetic and thinks i'm playing on it . he hasn't exactly said so but i can tell; he's gone for a walk with my mum and dad, dd and ds and thought i ought ot go as a walk 'would make me feel better'. every step i take around the house is pounding in my mouth and he thinks a nice hill-walk will help. aaaggghhh

listerine has eased a little for now. but why does it work better on my tongue and lips when they aren't sore

lol, more nerve endigns. Glad to hear you feel bit better.

back to square one again...in bloody agony, right in my neck, lower jaw, ear and temple
no pain relief due til 5.30

Have had that level of pain from a dental abscess, Dentist told me I should have seen someone at casualty or a MIU. A bad abscess can be dangerous, can you not call your emergency dental centre? There should be one somewhere

How are you doing AQ? It must be badly infected.

Another vote for: get some more ABs. They generally work faster than that, if things are getting worse, this AB isn't working for your infection, you need another one.

I do wonder whether some painkillers might make more sense in a dosage/kg way? Or whether the issue is more liver function, which of course isn't per kg.

Chewing gum with Xylitol - very good for helping to clear infected gums, throats sinus etc.

There are other painkillers you can have at the same time as these - I had some in hospital recently - but they were only available at the hospital or a pain clinic - sorry I don't know what they were called.
