Question 1

i have been experiencing tinnitus in my right ear for four weeks now. will it ever go away? could taking acetaminophen like tylenol be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Tinnitus: Possible, a little more likely with Aspirin or NSAID. Either way if you have been having tinnitus for 6 weeks then I would be seen.

Question 2

i took 4.2 grams of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 5/325 in 24 hours after dental surgery. do i have permanent tinnitus from either acetaminophen or amoxicillin? i need an ent

Accepted Answer

No: Permanent tinnitus from Acetaminophen or Amoxicillin is not likely to occur and you should seek medical care if this continues. There are numerous excellent ENT doctors in the Chicago area. Good idea to see one. Best.

Question 3

can you mix hylands baby mucus + cold relief with acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

Mix ?: I never mix medicines. You can never predict how they will react directly with each other before giving them or whether they would work as designed. If you mean can they be used at the same time, probably. I find products like the baby mucus product to be worthless, but that is a different issue.

Question 4

allergic to all pain meds my dr s prescribed.  diagnosed with scatia. tylenol (acetaminophen) is ok but pain is still chronic.  help!!

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Sorry you have back pain.  It is very unusual to be allergic to every pain medication your doctor has given you.  I suggest you return and discuss options not involving pain medications such as physical therapy, steroid injections, perhaps a visit with a pain specialist or physiatrist. There are also medications that may help with the pain such as Elavil, neurontin, Lyrica (pregabalin) and others.

Question 5

how long does acetaminophen remain effective in ones body? im taking it for a fever of unknown cause. at what point can i conclude that a normal temperature is due to the fever being gone and not being masked by the acetaminophen?

Accepted Answer

6-8 hours: The anti-pyretic (anti-fever) effect of acetaminophen lasts no more than 6-8 hours.

Question 6

would it be fine to take 2 of the tylenol (acetaminophen) 3's?

Accepted Answer

Usually: For an adult without liver disease, the dose range is 1 or 2 tablets. If having pain beyond prescribed medication's relief abilities on a recurring fashion, talk to your prescriber about medication strength adjustment.

Question 7

can i take aleve with tylenol (acetaminophen) 1's?

Accepted Answer

Aleve (naproxen) : Yes. Make sure you are taking the appropriate dose at the right intervals.

Question 8

how many tylenol (acetaminophen) 3's are equal to  a percocet?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It is really best to answer your question by a formal consultation with a pain specialist assuming you are a candidate for opioid medication. While there is a conversion table for common opioid. Each patient is different.

Question 9

why does a cup of coffee w tylenol (acetaminophen) help kick my headaches faster? and is it a safe combo? i need this a few x ' s a month.

Accepted Answer

OK: You are making your own "Excedrin" (some others add caffeine to the acetaminophen as well). This provides another mechanism to help reduce headaches, and is fine. If your headache improves with just coffee, it may be at least partially from caffeine withdrawal. Just don't overdo the caffeine or the Tylenol (3 grams/day for chronic use recommended max.).

Question 10

i have been taking oxy 10-325's 6 per day for years, and now i am coming off them. my dr. has me on tylenol (acetaminophen) with codeine. how long b-4 i am over oxy ?

Accepted Answer

Oxycodone: if you were developing a relationship with them ( addiction) it may take the same amount of years you were using them, if that's the case you may want to inquire about suboxone , if you are asking about the withdraw effect you may not experience any on the tylenol (acetaminophen) + codeine but if you do it will last a day or two most likely
