A member asked:
I just took two tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 for my wisdom tooth surgery. it doesn't help with my pain so can i take 2 advils or would that cause an overdose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually ok: Advil has ibuprofen, a different ingredient that is not in Tylenol (acetaminophen) #3. Advil contains no narcotic. Thus, it is usually fine to take Advil for pain if a person is also taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) #3 for pain. If worried, one can ask the oral surgeon who did the extraction.
