A member asked:

Told to take advil (ibuprofen) so i did but its killing me at my bottom teeth what can i do to take the pain away ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have it evaluated: Who told you to take advil (ibuprofen)? Was it the dentist? If not, see a dentist. Advil (ibuprofen) helps only mild pain. If it does not help, the issue may be more serious.
