Toothache, went to er was perscribed norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 5/325 and antibiotic, pain is still real bad, can't see dentist till thursday what can i do?

Ambusol: There are local anesthetics that can be applied to the gums that will relieve the pain. The same medicine that teething babies use. But call the dentist and tell them you are in pain and you need a appt asap.

NSAID: This class of pain meds will work in conjunction with the Norco to provide better pain relief if doses are alternated with your existing prescription. Meds in this category include ibuprofen, Naproxen and many others. Brand names such as advil or aleve (naproxen) are 2 examples of the 2 that i mentioned.

Anti-inflammatory: I would make time in your schedule to get into the dentist asap. If you deal with this today, you will feel a lot better tomorrow. Most endodontists allow for emergency time in their schedule, so ask your dentist if he/she could fir you in.
