I have my upper wisdom teeth that are causing me pain. They have just started coming in. What can I take besides Tylenol or Advil?

Some over-the-counter options available for wisdom tooth pain relief are Tylenol and Advil. You can take up to 1000mg of Tylenol every 4-6 hours and up to 400mg of Advil every 6-8 hours, as long as you stay within the recommended daily maximum doses. Another option to consider is Aleve (naproxen), which can be taken twice a day. Applying cold compresses or pressure to the gums can also help alleviate the pain. It's recommended to schedule an appointment with a dentist to determine if the wisdom teeth need to be removed.
