Side effects
Acetylsalicylic acid can cause stomach bleeding due to the increased risk of bleeding. Gastritis and ulcerations of the stomach lining are also possible side effects. Ibuprofen and diclofenac can irritate the stomach lining and even lead to the formation of stomach ulcers.
Often stomach and reflux complaints are felt. A high dose of ibuprofen is therefore only recommended in combination with pantoprazole, which inhibits the formation of acids in the stomach to protect the mucous membrane. The recommended ratio is 1:1; i.e. one tablet of ibuprofen and one tablet of pantoprazole should be taken together.
Pantoprazole is also available only on prescription. Paracetamol can damage the liver and in the worst case lead to liver failure. Celebrex can cause dizziness and light-headedness and you should not drive after taking it. It may also cause high blood pressure, skin rash and stomach upset.
What to do if painkillers do not help in case of dental root inflammation?
If the pain persists despite pain medication, the dentist should be consulted immediately, and if necessary, the dental emergency service should be contacted. In most cases, the dentist will ream the tooth to create an access through which the secretion can flow out, the tooth will be rinsed and disinfected by the bacteria and a medication will be injected directly into the pulp. If there is a swelling, a so-called abscess, it must be relieved by an incision so that the pus can drain away.
Otherwise an abscess can also migrate and in the worst case lead to sepsis. This condition, colloquially known as blood poisoning, which is a generalized inflammatory reaction of the body, can be life-threatening. Sepsis can lead to organ failure.
Therefore, in this case waiting is the wrong way and going to the dentist is necessary and inevitable. Often the dentist additionally gives an antibiotic to generally contain the bacteria.
