3rd day of this poxy thing  Iam on 500mg of amoxicillin and nurofen plus. Had about 6hours sleep in the last 3 days just pacing up and down. Anyway my question is can anyone recommend a stronger painkiller as these one arnt doing anygood. Dont drink so i cant even get drunk to try and numb the pain.

[SIR Philbutt]

Last time I had ab absess i took 1 nurofen and 1 paracetemol every 2hrs. Recommended by dentist but don't do it for more than 2 - 3 days

Once they kicked in kept the pain killing at max instead of going up and down as they wear off

Also the amoxicillin wasn't strong enough for me - gave me something stronger (no alcohol stuff) which cleared it in 2 days

Amoxicillin is the stock antibiotic given to all. It's not very good, especially if you have used it before. After three days your abcess should be well on the mend, down to about one quarter of what it was.

paramol is the strongest non prescription pain killer...although they do contain codine...

Well I had the same very very recently. Upper right molar.

You don't mention dosage

I am hesitant about offering advice    I took Ibuprofen 2 x 200Mg tabs. Not nurofen Plus. Cheapo Ibuprofen from most supermarkets or chemists. The key is the Ibuprofen which is anti-inflammatory, and it's the inflammation that causes the pain. Pain killers just relieve the pain not the cause of it.

Just had tooth abscess sorted yesterday - root canal treatment. Dentist managed to reuse crown after all which saved £500.

Abscesses usually reappear so maybe get it checked out.

Oh also taking ibuprofen every 8 hours

Soluble cocodamol will take the edge of it 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Had an abscess few months back on rear bottom molar tooth (unbelievable pain) but found a way to ease the pain by swirling cool water around the tooth till iy got warm and do the same over and over for 12 hours which made the pain worse after i had to stop the water method to go to sleep, Anyways had it cleaned out well the top part I believe by the dentist and had the same antibiotics mentioned for 2 weeks cleared up the yellow type colour puss but have had the puss come and go since but its back again for a few weeks now on the side of the tooth gum part, Going to the hospital on the 17th. Hope the tooth can be saved its going to be a bitch to eat without it

Tooth will be taken out once abcess is gone

Whatever the outcome, Paul, you have my sympathy. They are very painful. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight. If you can't go off in bed, where you have nothing else to think about, try the sofa with something crap on the telly to take your mind off it.

A porn channel might help, but don't make the bishop sore.
