Hi I have had severe toothache and have been taking 500mg paracetamol every 4 hours for 2 days ie 6g a day when the rec daily dose is 4g per day. My urine or faeces has a strange and strong smell. Have I taken too much. I have now ceased taking it. Thanks
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have toothache don't worry don't take too many painkillers, pain in tooth can be due carious tooth, decayed tooth, or impacted tooth. For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for oral examination and investigations X-ray to rule out the cause of pain and go for its treatment. In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, for pain you can take painkiller like petrol DT dissolve in water. Consult dentist as early as possible for treatment. Hope this will help you.
