Why are you supposed to use Anbesol only a few times a day?!


Question: My husband has an awful toothache and the Anbesol (liquid) works great.. for about 10 minutes. What's the worst that will happen by using it more often than recommended?

Cause you can kill the nerve

Go back to your oral surgeon. He can place a medicated dissolvable sponge into the socket, which is supposed to last for a few days. This worked great for me for a few hours, but it started hurting again that night. Maybe you'll get lucky. But even more importantly, if he hasn't give you one already, make sure you get a small syringe that you can use to clean food out of the holes in your gums.
Go to your drugstore and buy some 8 hour Tylenol, some liquid extra strength orajel (and possibly the overnight orajel cream if you're not on a budget) and some oil of cloves.
You should make sure you always have some Tylenol in your system for the first few days, because once it wears off you feel like the pain will never go away again.
Use the syringe to clean any food out of the sockets. Now, fill the syringe with either some pure liquid orajel, a water and orajel solution, or a water and oil of cloves solution (water the cloves down a lot, it burns). Squirt the solution directly into the sockets. You're only supposed to use orajel four times a day, so if you alternate between using orajel and using cloves, it will help you make it through the day.
before you do any of this though make sure you are NOT allergic to clove oil or orajel.
if your pharmacist doent know what clove oil is try using the techinical term eugenol instead and if they dont have it try in a natural foods store.

Missrash, haven't you heard the old saying :

"Imbecils Use Ambesol " ???

Maybe it's an old saying, maybe I remember it from an old "Tylenol" commercial ?
