Do you think this is Too much Tylenol?!


Question: Do you think this is Too much Tylenol!?
My husband has a toothache and is waiting on his insurance to clear before he goes to the dentist!. When the pain is bad he takes up to 7 200 milligram pain pills at a time!. Is this okay and how much is overboard!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
He needs something stronger than tylenol if he needs that many at once!. 3 is about the maximum dose of tylenols at once!. He could also try a tiny little bit of clove oil on his sore tooth as this eases the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The recommended daily maximum should be on the packaging!. The active ingredient "paracetamol" can cause liver failure when excessive doses are taken, and it is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States!.
Often the patient may not even experience symptoms for up to 24-48 hours!. Typical symptoms after this period range from nausea, malaise to extreme upper abdominal pain in the region of the liver!.

Unfortunately the tylenol is not providing enough pain relief for your hubby - try a "codine" + "paracetamol" pain relief (Panadiene in Australia) or Neurofen which uses Ibuprofin as the active ingredient - this is better for toothaches!.

Cold compresses sometimes give relief, or oil of clothes (smelly) or toothing gel to give temporary relief to the gum!.

If your husband experiences any swelling or throbbing pain along the jaw, he might want to see a dentist at least to get some antibiotics as he might have an infection!. This will settle don't the pain, but don't make the mistake of assuming that the toothache gas gone - make sure he gets it fixed!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
