Cocodamol And Alcohol Severe Toothache

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there I've had severe toothache the last few days getting worse. I took 2 cocodamol 30/500 1 hour ago and it hasn't touched it. Im going to the dentist in the morning I can't take Ibuprofen because I'm on Rivoroxaban can I have a glass of wine?

Soak cotton wool in neat whisky and cover tooth and bite on it

[Theland]

Yes no problem.

[ummmm]

Not recommended.

[gordiescotland1]

I don't have any whisky in the house

[Cloverjo]

I’m probably not the best person to answer, but I will anyway. Have something a bit stronger to get you through the night. Not too much though. A slug of whisky, maybe.

[Cloverjo]

Have that glass of wine then.

Yes.

Do you have paracetamol or ibuprofen at home?

[ummmm]

He can't take Ibuprofen. Paracetamol is not a touch on cocodamol.

Cocodamol has paracetamol in it, don't take any more, Jordy. If you have any antibiotics stored, as most people do now, I would be tempted to start them, but not Metronidazole.

Take the ibuprofen

[Mamyalynne]

If it will get you through the night till the problem is resolved, it will be fine.

I take a drink with 30/500s.

[TonyV]

ummmm just red the original post so ibuprofen cannot help guess paracetamol till the morning then.

[Mamyalynne]

Don't take any more paracetamol for a few hours after what you've had.

The problem is, both rivaroxaban and ibuprofen encourage bleeding. And while I am sure Jordy would be fine, if there is a chance he may need a tooth out tomorrow or similar, it is probably better to avoid that.

From the leaflet that comes with Co-codamol tablets:
"Do not drink alcohol while you are taking Co-codamol Tablets.Alcohol may increase the sedative effects of co-codamol and makeyou very sleepy.It can also increase the risk of some side effects"

Jordy wants to sleep, Chris. I wouldn't go overboard on the alcohol, but real life beats Google...

[ummmm]

It makes me very sleepy but I suppose that's what Jordy wants for tonight.

[TonyV]

Think Jordy is already asleep?
