Pharmacist check: Sounds like sinus related. Discuss your allergies with a pharmacist for otc meds and if no help, visit an md.

No allergy!: You p0robably don't have any clear allergy. Ibuprofen (advil, motrin) is not tylenol (acetaminophen). People who are sensitive to Ibuprofen may suffer reactions to acetaminophen. However, the pain in your teeth is more likely to be due to sinusitis, particularly if your maxillary (upper) teeth are hurting. See your physician.
