[|Human|] My husband is in severe pain for tooth abscess. He saw the dentist today who prescribed him Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 7.5-325 tablets. My husband does not take pain-killers unless absolutely necessary. Last time he took pain meds was when he broke his leg/knee in High School. He took one pill at 530pm this evening and at 7pm still didnt feel any reprieve. He took one more after researching that it would be okay to do so. It is now 8pm and he is still in the same amount of pain if not worse. I am truly baffled at this point and unsure if we should pursue the on-call provider for our hospital, or wait longer. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hello, As he has already taken 2 doses with no relief, so now it is better not to give him any more painkillers without consulting a doctor / Dentist in person. You can consult an Emergency room and get evaluated. A clinical examination can be done and as the pain is severe, an injection of painkiller can be given to reduce pain.  Also, as he has an abscess in the tooth, consult an Endodontist and get evaluated. An emergency access opening can be done on a tooth, so that the pus gets Chat Doctor.  Once the pain gets reduced, then either Root canal treatment can be completed or if the tooth has gross decay it can be removed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
