To reduce the pain from a toothache would codeine be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get it checked first: Codeine is a centrally acting, narcotic drug used to manage moderate levels of pain. Although it may be helpful in relieving your toothache pain it may also be masking a serious underlying problem. Get it checked by a dentist asap.
