hello, Yes you can take paracetamol along with nurofen (ibuprofen) if your pain is intense..
you can also do ice/cold application on the region it will help in easing out the pain as well as will prevent post-operative swelling..
avoid any hot food/fluids for first 24 hrs after extraction..
use antiseptic mouthwash and follow the antibiotic and analgesic course properly in the duration as prescribed by doc.. maintain your oral hygiene properly..
if your pain doesnot decrease in next 2 days then contact your dentist for check up and further treatment.. take care..
