Answers:
Yes it is fine by the instructions, but tramadol is a strong analgesia, it is morphine based and Morphine tends to cause nausea!. Therefore you could either try a different analgesia, or take some anti emetic (permitted only 3 times per day at 8 hourly intervals) It is not good to keep taking analgesia as it can constipate you however much you need, but you must treat the root of the problem, not just the manifestations!. Try to get a dental appointment asap as you may have an abscess!. The dentist will not extract the tooth immediately if this is the case, he will probably prescribe antibiotics until the infection is cleared!. Some antibiotics may also cause nausea and/or drowsiness!. I hope it is soon resolved!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tramadol is a strong painkiller and can commonly cause vomiting!. It should be out your system within 6-8 hrs!.

Try and get a rest/sleep!.!. don't take anything to drink for 1 full hour then start with small sips initially!.

For pain stick to paracetamol 2 tablets 4 x daily!.!. If your stomach settles and your not asthmatic then add ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for the pain!.!. Alternate the tablets so your getting pain relief every 4-5 hrs!.!.


Have you called the emergency dental service in your area!.!. Even if your not registered with an NHS dentist in the UK many area's have access to emergency care for the immediate problem!. Either call NHS Direct if your in England or Wales 0845 46 47!.!. NHS24 if your in Scotland 0845 4 24 24 24 Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tramadol with it's SSI inhibiting properties and weak opiate has a total of a nine hour half life!. This means if you took a 50mg pill nine hours later you will still have half that dose in you!. Tramadol in my opinion is a horrible drug and it can cause all kind's of side effects!. It is a opiate and it is a narcotic!. THe sickness should subside in four hours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depending on the type of Tramadol you took it can stay in your system for up to 24 hours, although if you've been sick there's a chance you've ejected it from your body already!.

I'm sometimes sick with Tramadol but only once and there are various other types which may agree with you, let your doctor know and he may be able to prescribe another version!.

I know that it is a very strong painkiller and best taken with or after food!. My grandad used to take it for pains and he used to feel very sick and it gave him acid indegestion if he hadn't eaten!.

You need to drink lots of water to flush it out and next time maybe try codeine instead!.

It shouldn't make you feel sick for much longer!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had bad toothache, too!. I dare not touch any medicine!. Instead I brushed my teeth very careful and then applied Listerine Cool Mint to rinse my teeth!. After that some water and rinse it again!.
It was all good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
