Answers:
No you shouldn't have to finish it, but it's not a whole lot, it's only 6 days!. At any rate, pain meds (except for ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory) are considered PRN, which means you take them as needed!.

Plus age doesn't matter as much as weight!. Unless you are extremely petite, your body needs adult doses of medication!. Just follow directions!.

I'm impressed with this question from a teenager, it shows that you don't want to abuse them!. And your concern is very very valid!. Codeine is a narcotic and very addictive!.

If you save the ones you don't need, you can use them for the next wisdom tooth, menstrual cramps that send you to bed, whopper headache, or injury!. They are good for a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you don't have to finish the bottle!. Somewhere in your dentist's instructions will be a phrase like "take as needed"!. In a couple of days you won't need those big guns, just regular tylenol!.

Dispose of the unused tablets in the trash!. Do not flush them!. Medications are showing up in water systems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take as needed for pain!.
You can stop if it isn't hurting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not if the pain is gone or is bearable with out it

i just got off codeine after 20 years!. if you can walk away from it do so now
