Horrific toothache
Discussion
So, I've done 10 500mg paracetamol tablets today, and don't want to take anymore. The tooth is killing me. Can't sleep (00:10 here) and recently opened a cheeky red with the thought that it might help me sleep. It hasn't.
Would taking a few more pills hurt? Or should I crack on with the bottle? 12 hours before I can see the dentist.
I've not known pain like it, and I've been in pain before.

8 tablets or 4 grams of paracetamol in 24 hours buddy. No more than that! Would taking a few more pills hurt? Or should I crack on with the bottle? 12 hours before I can see the dentist.

Try brufen on top of paracetamol. But yes, you need to see your dentist!
At least tou have more pills!
Honestly, this is bloody awful. Now 01:10, half a bottle down, and no change in circumstances.
Oh, did I mention that my sat tv isn't working, the Mrs is sick, the boy was a huge PITA today, only 1 dog wet out for a walk (long story) and I've only got 5 smokes left.
If I thought it would solve the problem, I'd knock it out myself.

Had the same once - went to A&E at 3am when I'd had as much as I could take.
They gave me some fk off huge brufen pills and others called Codydramol.
Told me to drive home before taking one brufen, then 2 codydramol an hour later and repeating every hour until I saw dentist next morning. Worked like a dream.
If its an option for you I'd pop down to A&E for the same.

Paracetamol is useless for toothache. Don't take any more or your liver will fall out. Maybe. Definately don't drink alcohol or your liver WILL fall out. Google liver failure. It's a horrible way to die. Keep your mouth rinsed out with warm water and salt. It'll help the pain temporarily. See a dentist as soon as. Last thing you want is an infection. It spreads through your jaw, up into the back of your eye... Nasty. If you really must be a bh and have drugs, sniff out some Tramadol. Codeine is bliss. Watch though, it's addictive.
Good luck

Just found 2 Panadol Day Cold and Flu. They had to be done. Left the wine now. Good luck
I fear it is an infection as my whole jaw hurts. The tooth in question is a crown, so not a hole or a bit of decay. Feck me, this is not funny.

Don't use a hot water bottle on the outside of your face.

I folded and went to A&E. 100mls of tramodol through an IV and a load of pills to see me through. They think its some kind infection. Honestly, never known pain like it.
Tramadol for toothache sounds a bit manflu in all honesty. Hopefully they told you it was a bit more traumatic than the usual impending root canal?Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
