Answers:
It will depend on what you need for pain relief after the surgery!. Motrin does come in a liquid form, usually for children, but adults can take it!. The pharmacist can calculate how much you would need to take for you!. Unfortunately, most of the stronger pain medications come only as tablets or injectables!. You may be able to crush them and take them with liquid, but you would have to ask the pharmacist first!. Some tablets can be, some can't- and the pharmacist would be the expert to determine that!. They can coordinate it with the dentist, and you should ask about that before you have the surgery done!. At least ask the day you go to have it done, before you get groggy and in pain!. Also, depending on how the surgery goes, you may not have as much pain as you think!. If the teeth are not impacted or infected, it usually isn't too bad!. If the teeth have not been in place long, they won't have roots extending into the jawbone- and that makes the recovery a lot easier!. Otherwise, lay in a supply of frozen pops and a couple ice packs to use!. A good bit of the pain is from the swelling, and if you can control that, you have slightly less!. It's icy cold stuff you will want for a day or so!. Fizzy stuff has to be "de-fizzed"- open the cans a day ahead and chill those if you are really a soda fan!. Otherwise, the nutrition drinks like Ensure come in handy- also as cold as you can get them, nearly frozen!. Bypass all the citrus juices- those just burn like - well, you know what!. Apple, grape, peach, those do well icy cold or frozen to slush!. And mouthfuls of very cold things will feel good!. But on the meds- ask the pharmacist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you request it, you may be able to get liquid codeine!. It is a common pain medication for this kind of procedure, but it is usually given as capsules, because of it's strength!. It's a lot harder to accidentally overdose with pills than liquid, which you have to measure yourself!.
Codeine is probably what they will give you anyways, so just ask for it in liquid form!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my sister got her wisdom teeth out not to long ago!.

the doctors will give you medication!.
they automatically give it to you in pills!.

so before you go into surgery, mention you want liquid!.
but when you get your wisdom teeth out,
you have trouble swallowing anything!. this is why pills would be easier!.!.
