Ibuprofen doesn't work well for tooth wisdom pain?
Dear community,
A few weeks ago, I had a toothache and went to the dentist. Since the doctor couldn't see anything, she took an x-ray and discovered that my wisdom tooth was pressing on the nerve. I have an appointment with the dentist in about a month. I'm now taking ibuprofen to relieve the pain. At first, a 400 IBU lasted 8-12 hours. Now, a 400 IBU lasts a maximum of 6 hours. A few days ago, I smoked a few joints with a friend. Since then, I've been feeling the pain about 3 hours after taking the 400 IBU. I can hold it for 60-90 minutes and then take the next one. Are there other options or painkillers that I don't need to take as much of? Ibuprofen isn't entirely harmless either. I really appreciate your help.

There are longer-effective painkillers such as Naproxes ; it acts up to 12 h. In the case of toothaches, however, they are subject to prescription. Recipe-free preparations with naproxes are only permitted in case of regular pain or joint pain. So if you want, you could have Naproxen written. There are also retarded ibuprofen preparations which have a correspondingly longer effect since the release of active substance is delayed. The Ibuprofen retard preparations with 800 mg are also acceptable. Here, a 2-3 daily dosage per day is sufficient; that is, if necessary, sometimes less than in conventional Ibuprofen tablets.
In the case of stronger pain, there are opioid analgesics such as tilidine retard tablets which work about 12 hours; These, however, have a dependency potential and are therefore of course also subject to prescription.
