Can you reply please thanks for the advice and I’ve currently got a cold compress on my face I’ll try the hot water bottle thanks xx
Heat works well for the first 24hours after that use a cold bag of peas wrapped in a teatowel – 20minuts on 20minutes off – it’s a traumatic thing to have done. Soft foods nothing with bits in or that require a lot of chewing.
You can also dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and gently rinse after ever meal to help reduce the bacterial load in the mouth and aid healing. Hope you get some relief soon 😘

If you feel like the pain killers aren’t hitting it and the pain is still the same after a few days go back, it might be infected. It would need cleaned out. I had to get mine cleaned out twice and then bed rest before it started to heal.
Best way to regulate is alternate the pain killers every couple of hours that way as one starts to ware of the other kicks. I work with GP’s all day and that’s their advice on pain relief.
Paracetamol yes. Ibroprofen no. You can only have 3 doses in 24 hours, which works out 2tablets every 8 hours. You can’t have anymore until 12.50am when24 hours has been. Paracetomol u can have 4 lots in 24 hours, so works out every 6 hours. X
You can alternate 2 paracetamol and then 2 ibuprofen every 2 hours, I had all 4 wisdom teeth out at once and I did this and was told to do so by the nurses at the hospital. So you can take 2 paracetamol now, 2 ibuprofen at 9:30 and then 2 paracetamol at 11:30 if you’re still awake then
My surgeon told me to take ibuprofen and paracetamol together after I had a tooth extracted last year. Salt water rinses or Corsydl. Keep a watch out for dry socket (more common with wisdom teeth removals due to the difficulty). You’ll have heightened pain,a bad taste in your mouth,you may see exposed bone. I had this after mine last year and it was awful
You can take paracetamol but instead of paracetamol I’d try cocodamol. Do not take paracetamol and cocodamol at the same time as they both contain paracetamol.
You can take more paracetamol just now then more brufen before bed. You should start to feel better tomorrow
Try oregel to numb it aswell it’s 6 quid odd for a.tiny tube but it’s well worth the money when it gets too bad xx
Take 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen every 4 hours that should ease the pain x
Yes you can take more, if the pain is really bad at the moment you can have 2x paracetamol and 2x ibuprofen.
The guidelines of how much you can take will be on the packet or the leaflet inside the packet
Leave the paracetamol and take cocodamol instead Hun ( that’s if you aren’t pregnant ) take them before the pain starts good luck I feel your pain xx
If u dont like tablets so much have u also tired a hot water bottle to lie ur face on? It really does help x
Leave for another hour and go to a pharmacy and get some paramol
I had all 4 pulled at once and didbt have much pain at all.
Gargle with warm salt water through out the day that helps tons
It’s my post thank you’s all, yes it was very traumatic 2 dentists alot of dental equipment and 50mins later whilst being awake so I’m rather sore 🙁 xx
Try taking them both together, works really well x
Instead of paracetamol take cocodamol x
Cocodamol is amazing you won’t need ibuprofen x
NO
ur not supposed to take ibruprofen when pregnant??
