Toothache 4 years It is 1 1/2 tablets depending on his weight. Can I alternate between tylenol and advil every 4 hours? Can I put oragel on him too? Okay, she started to run a fever and is now complaining of an earache. She threw up once this morning too. Is it better to consult?

Good morning, ma'am, Usually Tylenol and Advil are the pain medications prescribed for dental pain. You would just have to make sure that you are giving her the appropriate dose for her weight, was this indicated by your pharmacist? Thanks for the feedback, oragel is not indicated or recommended for this pain. You can give both at the same time, but you will have to consult if it does not relieve the pain in particular. At this time, the situation does not require consultation. Continue with Tylenol or Advil, and if the nausea continues, I suggest consulting your pharmacist for Gravol, available in several forms such as oral liquid and suppositories. You should consult if the fever persists for 72 hours, if her condition deteriorates, or if she is completely unable to eat. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
