Maximum recommended prescription strength does of ibuprofen is 800 mg. So taking any more than 4 200mg tablets at a time is not recommended. Furthermore after that 800mg dose your body doesn't really metabolize any more, and mostly you just end up peeing the excess out. To answer your question though, it's not harmful to take tylenol and ibuprofen together. They do not interact with each other in your body. Both can have liver complications, so don't do this long term however, and NEVER overdose on tylenol as it converts into a liver toxin and can kill you or cause severe liver damage.

For a toothache most of your pain is coming from inflammation, so the ibuprofen (which has an anti-inflammatory effect) will do a much better job than tylenol, which really isn't a preferred medication by most dentists.

As a practicing dentist however the most important thing to remember is that if you're in that much pain from a toothache it is NOT going to get better, only worse, and likely can lead to serious infection of your gums and jaw, which can become life threatening. So please see your dentist to get the cavity filled or the tooth removed, either way you'll be in much less pain than you are now.

What should you do if you take 1600 of ibuprofen at once?

either get it out of your system as quickly as possible, whether by emesis (vomiting) or a stomach pump but its never a good thing. That's about two pills over the daily limit and high amounts of ibuprofen in the body can cause stomach ulcers and internal bleeding. I'm not saying your stomach will bleed but its a very real possibility that you could do major damage to your organs.
