"my wisdom tooth got infected(pericoronitis) and the left side of my face is currently throbbing. i was prescribed penicillin along with ibuprofen 600mg. the penicillin takes a few days to kick in and ibuprofen does absolutely nothing. i called the doc back and they prescribed tylenol #3. at first i was excited to relieve my pain, but after about 2 hours into my medication i still felt no relief. i hate pills and generally don&#039;t take anything on a regular basis(2 advil for headaches when they rarely occur) so i don&#039;t have a tolerance for medicine. tylenol #3 did absolutely nothing for me. might as well have not taken anything at all. garbage!"
