I had all my teeth taken out yesterday morning and oral surgeon prescribed amoxicillan and norco. Having symptoms. Looked up both meds on drug.com and they give similar side effects. Called the office and he wants me to stop the norco and take tylenol. Took my last dose 5 1/2 hors ago and symptoms are still present...
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of side effects of painkillers post tooth removal. Post tooth removal chances of infection are very high and combination of antibiotic and painkiller should be given. If it is causing you stomach upset, hyperacidity, loose motions which is very common occurrence then you should take proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole given along to prevent side effects. Do warm saline gargles and avoid intake of any hard food substances. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit oral physician once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly. You should take plenty of fluids. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get well soon. Best Wishes,
