A member asked:
I have been taking advil (ibuprofen) daily for the last couple of weeks for teeth pain and my period is late about 2 weeks, would that explain it? (no pregnant)

No: Please stop tutting off treatment. Call your Dentist to examine your teeth and your Physician to see if you are pregnant. The last thing that you want is infected teeth or gums during pregnancy, can adversely affect the baby. Call NOW.

Not Usually But: See the Dentist for your teeth pain. Many things can cause pain. If it is infection, then this will affect the rest of the entire body.

Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?
