Hello.I had 3 teeth extractions (lower right side) 5 days ago and the pain I am feeling is still the same, there appears to be no let up in the amount of pain I am suffering. I am finding it very difficult to sleep as the pain either keeps me awake or wakes me up.I havent been back to my dentist because I thought with having 3 extractions at once it would be normal to feel some pain, but no over the counter pain releif is working. Today is Friday (night) and my dentist isnt open until Monday.What options do I have between now and then? Thanks Matt
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this severe pains you are feeling. Given the number of teeth extractions and the degree of your pain, I very much think that over the counter pain medications would not be able to help enough. Please, talk with your doctor to get stronger pain medications like codeine/oxycodone to get this pain controlled. Unfortunately, these Chat Doctor. For now, I will recommend that you get a combination of Tylenol and ibuprofen at least 3 times/day and if it doesn't help, please visit the ER for appropriate management. Toothache I am terrible thing to have to deal with alone. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
