A member asked:
Just got wisdom tooth removed. i don't want to take narco that i was given bc i need to work tomorrow. will advil with tylenol (acetaminophen) be enough for pain?

Yes: Yes, at controlled max doses (800mg ibuprofen and 1000mg Tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6hrs) should do the trick until you get home from work, but please do not do this schedule more than 3 days as it can be hard on your system if done long term. No worries
