A member asked:
I took one aleve (naproxen) about 5 hours ago for a toothache(getting into dentist asap). is it safe to take motrin now?

OTC pain relief: OTC pain relievers are often not entirely effective at managing tooth pain. You may be better off calling your Dentist and asking him/her to prescribe a course of antibiotics.
