Not recommended: because hydrocod/ibuprofen will increase the level or effect of naproxen by acidic drugs competing for the same pathway through the kidney and increase the risk of side effects and cause bleeding. Alternate Tylenol (acetaminophen) with hydrocod/ibuprofen every 6 hours. BTW pain-killers may provide some relief until you can get to your dentist. Call your dentist today!
