Tooth Ache :-( what can i take...

Hi all Just gone 15 weeks pregnant...went to dentist Wed just for a clean,i dont have any fillings and still dont need any...it was just a basic checkup and clean and polish... Last night and today my teeth are v sore and now my gums are starting to get sore... Hen did say i mite have some inflamation of the gums in couple of days due to the cleaning but its so uncomfortable Is there anything i can take while pregnant? I know u shouldnt and i really dont want to take anything tbh but if it gets worse i wont be able to sleep, any advice?...

Oh nothing worse! You can take paracetamol. Just plain paracetamol. Nothing with an anti-inflamatory in it.

Have you tried paracetamol? I'd start with this, fine to take in pregnancy - I'd my appendix out at 18 weeks and lived on panadol! Maybe gargle disprin to numb the gums? but don't swallow

Thanks girls Think i heard something before about a certain colour pk of Panadol...is that right? If it keeps up ill defo have to take something x

Yeh it's the blue pack, can't take the green one that's fast acting!

[quote="lovemybaby":1hsugck4]Yeh it's the blue pack, can't take the green one that's fast acting![/quote:1hsugck4] Really? I had a constant tooth ache from week 9 until I finally got the tooth removed at week 24 of my last pregnancy and I lived on the green pack... DS2 came out perfectly fine.... Why can't you take the green pack?

As far as I can remember it's a higher dosage?
