What is the best prescription pain killer for a toothache?

Answer 1

Your dentist can prescribe you anything from tylenol #3 to dilaudid to a Duragesic patch.

You'll be lucky if you get anything stronger than Lortab 5/500 or Vicodin.

Answer 3

Prescription For Toothache

Answer 4

I had a wisdom tooth removed two days ago. They prescribed Vicadin - Made my stomach hurt, but did stop the pain after the second pill.
Because of the stomach I'm just using extra strength Tylenol. Ice packs and sleeping on the opposite side of mouth.
When they told me to gargle with salt water the second day the pain came back, but different, like a stinging.
Today my head hurts on that side and the area is throbbing a bit.
So I would say nothing is working.
Monday I got and have the stitches removed.
P.S. eating is NOT an option, they said I could but chewing just heightening the pain - so its liquids. They suggest Carnation for the vitamins.

Answer 5

Your best bet would be 600mg ibuprofen (3xregular strength advil or 2xextra strength motrin) every 4 hours and taken with food (or milk if unable to eat). This will keep any swelling/redness/inflammation down. You can also add Tylenol 500-1000mg (1-2 extra strength tab) every 4-6 hours, but taken in between the advil or motrin (so he is taking something every 2-3 hours basically). Any OTC gel or cream will help, but very modestly and for short period of time. His saliva will wash it away after a few minutes or maybe an hour. Often the pain is inside the gum so the topical treatment is often of little help, but safe to use usually. He can keep a hot compress on his face or area of the mouth where it is hurting to help as well. If the pain continues to be very severe I would take him to a local clinic or ER to see a physician.

The best is Ponstan, but you can use these Emergency self-care tips to ease the pain,
Toothaches should always be professionally treated by a dentist. Some methods of self-treatment, however, may help manage the pain until professional care is available:
• Rinsing with warm salt water.
• Using dental floss to remove any food particles.
• Taking aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to relieve pain. The drug should be swallowed—never placed directly on the aching tooth or gum.
• Applying a cold compress against the outside of the cheek. Do not use heat, because it will tend to spread infection.
• Using clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum) to numb the gums. The oil may be rubbed directly on the sore area or used to soak a small piece of cotton and applied to the sore tooth.
• A washcloth soaked in chamomile tea and placed on the infected tooth or swished around in the mouth will help to ease the pain.

Take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength. It has an anti-inflammatory in it and works better than tylenol or aspirin.
