yep, diclofenac works for me. Trade name is voltaren.

800mgs of ibuprofen is safe and easy.

Since voltaren is available over the counter in LOS that's an option too.

I used to use the injectable one for a sore back. Long term use has possible injection site issues.

Butrasil, 20cc injected into the butt, works well with cows not sure about people though

Thanks to all.........will give Voltaren a go. If it doesnt help i/ll try RC's Butrasil.

"Relefen" - not a generic but the trade name.

Works good for muscle inflamation etc.

hehe ..there still have watermelon there ? our county have being in winter , so cold with 5 decrees around ...

the drugs mentioned by upper floor , just a old medicine , and is used for the diminish inflammation.

i also have such experiences in my mouth , just since there is a new teeth growing in my furthest side of mouth , and in a new year ..so terrible thing ...so much lovely food and lovely snacks , but i couldn't open mouth well... anyway , i take niuhuangjiedu tablets produced by our factory , just on hand ....well i am ok , i also missed those festivals and happy times.

Does that contain Ibuprofen?

Not that i'm aware. Was told by a dentist that the best way to block tooth pain was to use 2 painkillers. He gave the example of Ibuprofen and Panadol togeather. both painkillers work two different ways and give a much better chance of success.

See a doctor, dont stuff around mate

only too willing to help (when I can)

cheers

Been to Docs........she's given me a course of Antibiotics hopefully they/ll sort it out. No drinking for a week though! Thanks again for all your help.

Update.........antibiotics did the trick ,looking forward to my first beer in a week tonight!!

This is a good web site listing medications, side effects etc. I recommend you use this only for reference and consult a qualified medical practitioner prior to taking any medication.
