Meds: Yes, Tylenol with codeine usually can be taken every 6 hours. Obviously you might want to alternate with 600 mg of ibuprofen because Tylenol with codeine does not have any anti inflammatory properties. Hope that helps!

Speak to dentist: Pain medication alone only masks the problem. The tooth or teeth bothering you have to be treated to remove the cause of the pain. Have you seen and dentist? If not, get an appointment asap. If yes, call your dentist for advice. Taking 600 Ibuprofen and 300 Acetaminophen taken together often works better than Codeine, even with Tylenol.
