Yes!! If you weren't prescribed pain medication after a root canal, you can take over the counter med like Tylenol or ibuprofen whichever you can take. If your body can tolerate, you can also do a combination of Tylenol and ibuprofen. You can also call your doctor's office and ask what they recommended for over counter pain med since they are more knowledgeable about your medical history. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
