Can’t stop crying from pain despite being given Tylenol 3
I got my two top teeth extracted this morning, I am not allowed to take ibuprofen and a whole host of other medications due to allergic reactions, so I asked for opioids. My dentist was very, VERY insistent that just regular acetaminophen would be enough, but I pushed and he gave me 4 Tylenol 3. I took one as soon as the numbing wore off but I have been crying non stop from discomfort. I tried to drink a smoothie (with a spoon) and the second it even grazed the wound I burst into tears. I can’t open my mouth more than half an inch, speak, or even swallow without extreme pain. I am scared I’m overreacting, normally I have a very high pain tolerance (I refused anything stronger than acetaminophen after my spinal surgery for example) but this is absolutely taking me out and I read that it only gets worse before it gets better. Would it be worth it to give my dentist a call in the morning if this doesn’t subside and explain this in hopes of getting something stronger?
