Yes, don't take it!: Yes, this is a powerful medicine with many side effects that should only be taken if you have a lot of pain. The instructions with it should be 1 every 6 hours as needed, not just one every 6 hours. If you have milder pain, tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil might also be effective. Hopefully you are seeing a dentist to address the cause of the pain.

Yes: You can switch to advil and tylenol (acetaminophen) after four hours. Combined they work together for higher pain control. Two or three advils or motrins(200mg) and one or two tylenol (acetaminophen) tabs. The narcotics can make you dizzy or nauseated. They are only for pain control. Drink lots of water with pills and keep something on stomach(soft and mild). Follow your surgeon's instructions.

Yes: Your rx. Probably is written every 4-6 hrs. Prn, which means " if needed" . No pain, no need to take!

As you have found narcotics do not cure dental infections. Additionally there's an addiction risk. Please take only as needed. Make arrangements with our Dentist for hands-on dental carte. Additionally specific antibiotics may reduce pain causing, inflammation. Please, call your Dentist.
