Root Canal And I'm Still In A Lot Of Pain

Updated

Just had a root canal. I took 1 hydrocodone 7.5/325 mg and 800 mg of ibuprofen and I'm still in a lot of pain. What else can I do?

Stacy,

Not much, it may take time for the trauma of the root canal therapy to subside. I highly doubt your dentist can or will rx anything stronger. Did they order an antibiotic? Rinsing with warm water may assist as well. Try to rest. The medication sometimes needs time to thoroughly provide relief. If all else fails follow up with the dentist in the am.

Thank you. I was on one antibiotic but she added another one and a steroid because I wasn't getting any pain relief. Also, my cheek on the same Side as root canal was red and hot to the touch. Since starting additional meds I'm finally feeling some relief.

Stacy,

That's awesome I'm so glad you've found relief dental procedures especially those involving specialty procedures like rct are often difficult to predict. As long as your improving and headed in the right direction is all that matters. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend best wishes ;)
