What type of pain reliever would you recommend for tooth ache?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
NSAIDS, ice, : Pain can be relieved with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 30 minutes, 3-4 times a day, for inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing.

Depends: Depending on your personal history and allergies, take whatever you take for a headache. Definitely call your dentist for a diagnosis and treatment of your problem. Toothaches don't go away unless they receive proper treatment.

Anti inflammatories : 600-800 mg of ibuprophen every 4 hrs but this only decreases pain, and doesn't treat the cause. See your dentist asap for proper diagnosis and treatment.
