TOOTHACHE

[dermotolearyswifetobe]

Any alternatives to Paracetemol. I have the worst toothache and there is no emergency dentist where I am so will have to wait until Monday and pray I can get an appt. then. IS there any alternative to Paracetemol. The brand I have is every 6 hours but the pain is back after about 3 and I just can't bear it. Anyone up at this hour of the night that can help.

Could try iboprophen

i'm sure my granny used to swear by oil of cloves for toothache- not sure if u can still get it.

Neurofen capsules (sp).

can I take that with paracetemol or as an alternative.

u can take both together- but better (i think personally) to take couple of nurofen (ibrupofen) then take paracetamol couple of hours later.

thansk I think i have nurofen somewhre. The pain is really terrible. Its such a constant nagging pain with only respite for a couple of hours.

Thanks ladies. Thought I was the only person still up. :D

hope u feel better soon- i must go to bed now- X

nah definitley not the only one still up.

I know it's quite warm at the moment, but a hot water bottle held against the jaw can help a little too.........or just make a coffee and hold the warm mug against your jaw

'gateway for the pain' - thats what the GP's call it! (i'm full of useless crap!)
