Pain Medication?
I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed 1 week ago on Thursday, and I'm still in an unusual amount of pain due to a possible infection. On Tuesday of this week, my oral surgeon prescribed an anti-bacterial medication and Percocet for the pain.
I ran out of Percocet, and I need to know what over the counter medicine I can take to relieve the pain until I see him again on Monday.
I'm not addicted to the pain pills (I especially don't enjoy taking them because they make my stomach hurt so bad), and I'm not looking for a combination that will be the exact same strength of the Percocet. I just want something to at least take the edge off so I can go to work, eat, and sleep decently.
Along with the Amoxicillin, I'm also taking the prescribed Ibuprofen (600mg) he gave me, so I need SAFE suggestions if you have any.
Thank you!
What did i do to my middle finger? freshly a preserve? tore tendons or is it broke?
Answers:
ibuprofen is wonderful and is a great anti-inflammatory. dont mix any other over the counter medicines with it though, that could tear your stomach up worse. just suck on ice cubes and keep cold packs on your cheeks. if the pain becomes unbearable call him and maybe he could prescribe a milder narcotic, like lortabs. just be aware of the addiction potential and take as directed. hang in there, i had 4 dry socket infections myself.
Can i super glue a cut or a wound ?
Take Iburprofen for the inflamation, and a couple of tylenol extra strength for the pain.
Ibuprofen and Tylenol are about the only other over the counter things that I can think of that would help, good luck!
