When my wisdom tooth were pulled the only thing that seemed to help was to double up on some otc painkillers and take them together - acetaminophen and ibuprofen together worked the best. Look into it, I’m not a doctor etc etc
Just gonna keep repeating this PSA everywhere I see this advise:
DO NOT MIX IBUPROFEN AND ACETAMINOPHEN; INSTEAD ALTERNATE THEM
That didn’t help me but it’s good to cover all the angles. What are the resulting negative effects from not alternating them?
I don’t know. All the doctors I’ve talked to told me not to mix them. Perhaps too many organ systems being stressed at once (ibuprofen affects the stomach and acetaminophen affects the liver)
