Can a DO doctor prescribe pain meds
Antibiotics reduce infection, not pain. If the dentist didn't prescribe any pain medication, you can take over-the-counter medication such as Moutrin, Aleve, Tylenol for pain. (I like Aleve because it also helps with the swelling.)
There is no drug free pain medication alternative at the dentist. This is due to the fact that there is no way to prevent pain at the dentist. The only way that might help is to use some form of numbing agent. That might help a little bit.
Hydrocodone is a pain reliever for moderate to severe pain in humans. The medicine is prescription only. A doctor or dentist can prescribe the pills.
You can elect to be put completely under during a root canal. You will have some pain once you wake up.
As long as you can stand the pain without yanking the tooth out yourself! If you are taking antibiotics, the dentist probably wants some infection to be cleared up before he does the root canal therapy. He can also prescribe medication for the pain if he thinks you need it. My dentist always gives me a prescription for pain pills AFTER he drills. The one time I really needed it BEFORE, I used ambesol for several days. The next time I have pain while waiting for a procedure, I'm going to ask for the lortabs or tylenol+ because the ambesol left the tip of my chin numb for several weeks after i quit using it.
It sounds like you may require root canal therapy. Sometimes the fillings are just too deep and the nerve gets infected. In any case, any post-op pain you are experiencing needs to be brought to the attention of the dentist who did the fillings. He/she at least can prescribe pain medication until a definitive treatment can be done.
Root canals can take up to 6 hours. Be prepared for pain medication afterwards.
Your dentist or doctor should prescribe medication for you. It's important to take this medication exactly as directed. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor first. If you were not prescribed anything after your tooth extraction and you are in pain, call your dentist or doctor to request pain medication along with specific directions on how and when to take it. Do this immediately. Additionally, from the dentist, you should have received a print-out on what to expect while healing with steps to take in order to avoid a dry socket, stop excessive bleeding, and precautions when eating or drinking. You especially need to know how to avoid a dry socket as this could cause severe pain and prolong healing. Do not partake in exercise, bending, or lifting for at least the first 48 hours. Get rest and take it easy. An ice pack can reduce swelling thus easing your pain somewhat.
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.
Some pain and swelling is also normal; the doctor will usually prescribe a pain-killing medication to be taken for a few days.
Usually enough for a few days, if you have pain past that point they will usually call in a refill.
