Yes, there are liquid forms of medication available for pain and swelling following a maxillofacial operation. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, there are several options that may be prescribed to you. The simplest option is to crush the tablets and mix them with applesauce, yogurt, or another liquid. Some medications also come in liquid form, such as Tylenol or Advil, or can be specially made by certain pharmacies. However, this option may be more expensive. In some cases, pain medications may also be available as suppositories. It is best to consult with a pharmacist when you receive your prescription after your operation to discuss the different options available based on the medications prescribed.
