Yes, providing you don't have any problems with your stomach for example stomach ulcers. I know it sounds like common sense but always read the label and if you do have any medical conditions then check with the pharmacist to see if ibuprofen is okay for you to take. If you have no medical conditions then you can take 400mg (2x 200mg tablets) 6 hourly, no more than 6 tablets in 24hours. Never take on an empty stomach or it will irritate the stomach.
Ibuprofen is excellent if also taken with 1g of Paracetamol ( 4-6 hours apart, no more than 4g in 24 hours.) If the pain is not resolving then try either Paracetamol with small amount of Codeine or Ibuprofen with Codeine ( available over the counter or prescription). Be careful with Codeine. Although it may be a weak opiate, it can still be addictive and is best taken for a couple of days only. Codeine can also constipate you so drink plenty water. Codeine can also make you very drowsy so do not take with alcohol.

It is going to hurt to have it pulled when it is abscessed but it will feel better very soon after. I had one pulled while it was abscessed and it was very painful but I am very thankful I did it. I couldn't have stood the pain from the abscess much longer.AnswerHealing after an tooth extraction can take up to a week.
