Suggest Medication For Severe Headache Caused Due To Tooth Extraction

Hi,

I had two of my upper right molars removed today. The very back two. I was not given any pain or nausea meds, though I have a standing zofran order due to cyclic vomiting syndrome.

I am in extreme pain. I'm able to sip Gatorade but food is a no go. I also have a piercing headache on the same side of the head as the teeth were removed? I'm not sure if I should just call or what...

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if you are not advised painkiller after tooth extraction then pain is not an abnormal finding because as the tissues are traumatised and inflamed after extraction of the teeth there will be pain..
Pain in head is radiating pain from the extraction site..

It is not a correct practice as not to advise painkillers and you need to consult your dentist back and get a script of antibiotics and painkillers..

As of now you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also do cool compresses over the cheek..
Do warm saline gargles..
Take a soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
