Wisdom teeth removal and advil?

Question

Hi. I just got my wisdom teeth removed and the doctor said to take 2 Advil every 4 hours. Is this only for one day or more until I heal? Thanks

Answer 1

As long as you feel any discomfort!!!!!!!

Answer 2

if your in heaps of pain get them removed but until then advil.

i still have mine but yeah they hurt alot until they came through fully.

Answer 3

Take it untill your gums dont hurt anymore!  Once you have the pain under control, you can take it less often if you'd like.

Also, keep ice on your cheeks for at elast all of the first day and into the second day.

I feel for you, i just got my wisdom teeth out this morning!

Good luck ! :]

Answer 4

for a couple of days when you dont feel anymore discomfort. when i got mine out, i took really strong pain killers for nearly two days. then if they started to hurt after that, i just took panadol. make sure you rinse your mouth out with warm salty water at least two times a day or if you want to, after each meal to keep the wounds clean so you don't get an infection.

hope you feel better soon!

Answer 5

it is until it has healed
