Tooth Pain, Voltaren 75, Cataflam 50
I have too much pain in my tooth , I took Voltaren 75 at 2 PM today and then went to a doctor and he gave me another pain killer (Cataflam 50) until the operation tomorrow, so I took Cataflam 50 at 9 PM. Cataflam 50 doesn t seem to work at all, i still have too much pain, can I take Voltaren 75 again after two hours only from Cataflam 50?

hello,
i read your problem,as you have lots of pain in your tooth you took painkiller voltaren 75 and you got relief.........
but after taking cataflam 50 you did not get relief at all .......
so you can take another voltaren 75 to get relief from pain........
but i want to let you know this pain you have is because of infection ....
and if you have swelling and pus,you will get relief after drainage only.........
painkillers will give you temporary relief only......
take care

Dear XXXXX, it would be simply not useful to keep loading urself with Painkillers so often. however u can take another tablet if its not relieved. I would suggest U to brush with salt, toothpaste & apply clove oil on the affected tooth only as a remedy to reduce the painful sensations. Please consult ur dentist tomo and get it operated so that the rootcause of the inflammation will be treated. thank you;-) hav a good day:-)
