A member asked:

Toothache pain from jaw to ear & eye. how much is too much? i've taken 8 220mg aleve (naproxen) in the past 5hrs+ a lot of oral benzocaine (20%) & still in pain.

Need treatment: That much aleve (aka naproxen) 220mg x8 in 5 hours is too much; oral benzocaine (20%) can also be toxic is high doses. Having that much pain = need to be seen today

Any pain is too much: It's your body waving a red flag telling you that you need professional help. Pain killers and anti-allergy mess will not cure you. You have a serious problem, probably infection, that is spreading. Please call Dentist, Endodontist, or Oral Surgeon who will get you onto the path of healing. This will not self-cure, so call right now.
